Coherence
"There is another theory: that two states continue to exist... separate and decoherent from each other, each creating a new branch of reality... based on the two outcomes. Quantum decoherence ensures that the different outcomes... have no interaction with each other." -Hugh
Low budget films absolutely need more recognition. I still am not at the age to have many straight dinner parties, but this definitely has me second guessing if I ever really need to. What a unique idea that kept me on my toes the entire run time. I felt like I knew what was going on, then as time goes on I realize I know less and less. I love how they made it easy enough to understand but not so much you have no idea what's going on. I surprisingly did not need an ‘ending explained’ Youtube search after. If you like escape rooms or puzzles, this is the movie equivalent. Most mystery thrillers have horror elements which can turn off a lot of people, but somehow I think this does a great job of being more of a puzzle than thrill ride.
The big issue I have is that the acting is a little poor at times. This is going to be expected with a low budget film, but it is a tough watch at times. I think all other low-budget aspects are fine, I just wish they could have a little better acting. Coherence is like a mind-bending puzzle box you can't put down. Sure, the acting might be a bit rough around the edges, but that can be expected in a movie made for $50,000. Coherence is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys a good brain bender.
