Coherence Reviews
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
James Ward Byrkit completes his journey from storyboard artist...to writer-director with this overextended but mostly enjoyable trip into the Twilight Zone.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Cary Darling
At once a suspenseful mind game and a wily mash-up of surreal quantum physics theories, this low-cost thriller proves that something approaching brilliance is not just a function of budget.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
"Coherence" is proof that inventive filmmakers can do a lot with a little.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
This less you know, the more you will enjoy this this nifty thriller, which craftily makes the most of its micro-budget to maximize a deliciously mind-bending story.
Shockya.com
Perri Nemiroff
There's more suspense in this low budget dialogue-driven sci-fi thriller than many effect-heavy, $100 million+ blockbuster wannabes.
Slant Magazine
Samuel B. Prime
Coherence was a highlight. A deceptively simple film made with minimal cast, crew, and budget, it boasts more than enough sheer imagination to tip the scale in its favor.
Austin Chronicle
William Goss
...grounds a mounting sense of paranoia among a set of credibly flawed relationships before doling out its eerie revelations with care.
New Yorker
Bruce Diones
The film's not perfect-the hand-held camerawork sometimes distracts from the unnerving mood-but it's a good, spooky mind-bender.
Variety
Justin Chang
[The] surprises, while cleverly doled out over the film's brisk 88-minute running time, don't entirely offset the general displeasure of spending time with this particular circle of friends, lovers and old flames ...
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
Coherence is a gentle film, but you walk away from it with your brain on fire.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
What began as a nifty puzzle feels more like a trap. It may be possible to unkink this story, but when characters and performances are as unengaging as these, it's hard to feel motivated to try.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
The conceit is alluringly mind-bending without ever seeming off-puttingly brainy.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
Slightly too much like an unfolding mathematical puzzle, although an ingenious one that reaches a chilling conclusion.
Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Dalton
An ingenious micro-budget science-fiction nerve-jangler which takes place entirely at a suburban dinner party, Coherence is a testament to the power of smart ideas and strong ensemble acting over expensive visual pyrotechnics.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Gets points for both effort and entertainment value - even if viewers will be hard-pressed to find much coherence in his convoluted plot.
Slant Magazine
Nick Prigge
The film's impression of personas is less traditionally sinister than representative of its inquiry into identity and what happens when social barriers begin to fall away.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
Writer/director James Ward Byrkit, in his feature debut, achieves effective chills with only eight actors and a living room ...
BuzzFeed News
Alison Willmore
Coherence's characters aren't especially nice, but they do feel painfully normal, with a plausibility to their actions that extends to the half-smart way they react to their situation.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
The Rod Serling tension Byrkit is angling for never quite arrives, nor does any real Borgesian frisson.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
An uncommonly clever genre movie, reliant not on special effects-of which there are basically none-but on heavy doses of paranoia.
