James Ward Byrkit\u2019s \u201cCoherence\u201d (2013) begins with Em (Emily Foxler) on her cell phone, which suddenly cracks for no apparent reason.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Em arrives at a dinner party with an eclectic group of friends, many of whom are fascinated by reports that a comet is about to pass by. As the evening continues and friendly, casual chat ensues, members of the dinner party come and go, sometimes not returning.<\/p>\n

More unsettling is, that despite appearances, the ones who return don\u2019t always seem to be the same ones who left. Someone protests, \u201cWe just have to make it through the night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is that really the solution?<\/p>\n

While made on a low budget, the filmmaking, acting and cinematography are polished and naturalistic. There are few films shot digitally in the early aughts, even ones with substantial budgets, that look this good.<\/p>\n

None of the actors appears as if they\u2019re acting. Everyone in the small ensemble evokes a group of old friends who know each other well.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoherence\u201d has built a small cult following over the years, standing out for being a title film buffs carry around. That’s despite it never getting much more beyond a tiny theatrical window and frequently popping up on streaming sites.<\/p>\n

This is a truly eerie story about discovering a potential doppelganger, a double that one can either work with or distrust entirely. Byrkit and his actors sustain tension and present a delicious mystery, resulting in one of those rare occasions in a film that gets better every time you see it.<\/p>\n
