Its ambitions are admirable, but the actual concepts are too convoluted and don't quite live up to the potential of the various themes it juggles.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 20, 2023

Is anything but coherent.

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 14, 2023

Even more unsettling because of its grounded setting, Coherence is a true indie gem.

Coherence is shockingly good.

Here’s the puzzle film at its purest: momentarily scintillating enough to bypass the banality of its players, a scenario whose adroit unfolding trumps the emotions it supposedly illuminates.

With very little money at his disposal, Byrkit turns away from special effects and visual bravado and embraces relationship dynamics and philosophical conceits to give his movie a unique sense of self.

Episode 26: 2019 Movie Preview / Glass / Serenity / Velvet Buzzsaw / Coherence

| Original Score: 70/100 | Sep 9, 2021

A taut puzzle box of multidimensional weirdness and fraught existential terror.

| Feb 25, 2021

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.

| Sep 24, 2019

For patient audience members that enjoy an intelligent puzzle, Coherence is certainly worth a look.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 30, 2019

Despite minimal effects and taking place over a single night in a single setting, the movie is incredibly entertaining from beginning to end.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 6, 2019

Coherence is a debut of tremendous ambition and potential, yet sadly, despite some genuine moments of tension, the film ironically makes too many wrong turns and its convoluted themes fail to coalesce on a human level.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 4, 2019

Grounded but witty script combined with unique and interesting concepts as well as some fun black humour.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Nov 2, 2018

The film never loses you in the complicated story, but it does come together in such a way that will make you want to re-watch the film as soon as it is over.

| Aug 21, 2018

Coherence resembles a postgrad science project masquerading as drama.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 22, 2017

It turns, rather wonderfully, into a small, nasty little fable about feeling regret and wishing to have a different life.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 30, 2017

Coherence is a smart, tense genre outing that thoroughly shows up big-budget tent-poles with its superior inventiveness.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 26, 2016

Keep your ears open and your eyes peeled because Coherence is all about the details.

| Original Score: B+ | Mar 7, 2016

A no-budget, mind-bending exercise in the fragility of human relationships with a bit of quantum physics thrown in, Coherence is thoughtful and well-made thriller with a hint of mystery to it that simmers nicely below the surface.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 7, 2016

It's a great little movie, intelligent and creepy.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 30, 2015
