Coherence (2013)

Coherence is an award-winning 2013 surreal psychological science fiction thriller film. It's about a passing comet causing life-changing alterations in the lives of a group of 8 friends who have gathered for a dinner party. I enjoyed seeing Nicholas Brendon, who played Xander in the Buffy television series. I watched it on Tubi. It's also on Crackle.

The Guardian has a positive review. Hollywood Reporter calls it a "smart, spooky, low-budget sci-fi shocker". Roger Ebert's site begins their review saying, ""Coherence" is proof that inventive filmmakers can do a lot with a little."

  1. Looks interesting. It's a good thing I have an appointment with the eye doctor in a couple of weeks. I read the title as Conference. 😺

  3. I'm also a big fan of Nicholas Brendon because I LOVED Buffy and later, Angel. Joss Whedon really knew how to create hits.

    1. Thanks! I didn't have anything already scheduled, and the insomnia this week has been bad.

  5. Interesting take with a dinner part and a comet. It's good when filmmakers think out of the box.

  6. Why do these summaries always sound so far-fetched?

  8. This sounds familiar but not sure if it is just similar to something else I've seen. Too many movies these past years since Netflix--LOL!
