@@jimbyrkit6384 I have watched a lot of movies but only Coherence was stuck in my mind and I watched it again tonight. Man, what a rollercoaster! I'm a 33-year-old dude and I was scared shitless. Props to the actors, too.
@@jimbyrkit6384 Yeah the disoriention of not knowing whats happening in the beginning makes you feel anxious & disturbed. It was unsettling in the best way possible
I view it as a cosmic horror movie. that she gets stuck in a reality where nothing weird happened so no one has any idea what she's talking about and is basically on a fast track to an insane asylum. This redundant doppelganger. In just a few minutes, she went from our hero to a villain ...simply for wanting a life that belongs to a better version of her. Definitely disturbing and brings up all kinds of really difficult questions. Bravo. You made one of the greatest movies ever with a budget smaller than that of 1 second of a Hollywood blockbuster
@@jimbyrkit6384 hey Jim! I remember I did end up doing the math and also got 3 seconds. But I'm still impressed, albeit 2/3rds less ! 😆 Hey so I've always wondered if I missed a callback to Amir wearing Beth's (?) shoes when he first ventured off with Hugh? Thanks for such a gem!
ha, no that line about the shoes was a funny improv by Alex Manugian in the moment. We thought later it might be one more clue that he wasn't the SAME Amir who returned but it was so much to pack in and we already had Hugh's band aid to focus on. @@a.nobodys.nobody

To me, this movie did seem like a horror movie in a inner “psychological” kind of way. “Am I the worst version of myself?” And the importance of how choices affect you was really highlighted. It honestly inspired me to get my shit together which is probably why it’s one of my favorite movies.
Hey Jim! Just wanted to say that ’Coherence’ is in my absolute top 5 of all times. And to learn you guys did it without a script is simply amazing! Thank you! 🙏
@@crieverytim In no specific order there is ‘Blade Runner’(and it’s sequel(I cheat and count this as one)), Back To The Future part 2, Star Wars episode IV and Indiana Jones and the Last crusade. Thus making this and BTTF the only ones not featuring Harrison Ford!
@@henkestenkeAll great movies but the 1st Back to the Future is much better than the 2nd. I also don't agree with how they cut Crispin Glover out and used his likeness.
This film is so good. I've watched it several times. I'm not one for sci-fi but this movie is so well done that I felt it could happen. It wasn't far fetched and the suspense and acting was very real. It felt like so many genres but not in a confusing way...it was brilliant! Plus the characters are relatable. I've recommended it to a few people. First time I watched it it stayed with me a long time. It leaves you thinking for sure. So many movies about multiple realities are overly removed from reality for me, and some don't delve into it enough. I love working out films, and I'd say I'm pretty good and intuitive but this one truly surprised me! Great gem that more people should know about!
Just watched today and I found the film to be one of the most beautiful and honest reflections of the human condition I have ever experienced. Of course we all wonder of the what ifs! What if I took that job instead of doubting myself or having too much pride, drinking too much in one version, while the other you is a sober A list actor etc. That is a profound pain that I think everyone experiences because we all know that we don't really have a choice, but to try to change the reality we live in now. You don't get to swap out into another you's life without consequences. I think that people are a double edged sword. We are all flawed . in this reality and in other potential ones as well!
I've always been a sucker for single-setting movies. This, The Cube, Circle, etc. always end up being my favorite movies. When you're stuck in one place, you HAVE to get creative. the conversations and concepts HAVE to be interesting.
Hey I just wanna say this film is amazing. I've seen it twice now and the second viewing was very very fun. The one question I always had and others seem to think: Are they all from different houses in the very beginning? Because for instance Laurie didn't remember Mike from the TV show he supposedly starred in for 4 years. And Beth loses connection on her phone on the way to the house. So the theory is that all of them drive through the black space on the way to dinner and are from different "houses".
it doesn't make sense that they were all from different houses in the beginning of the movie since "coherence" of timelines happened only on that particular night(if the parallel universe theory is true, diversions happen all the time but the different timelines could interact on that night only because of the comet). so if mike was really in that TV show, then all the Laurie-s that are stuck in the diversion will have watched the same Mike on TV just as every version of Mike had slept with Beth in the past.
This is one of my all time favourite movies, and a topic that has horrified me for years. The moments where the characters question each other, come face to face with themselves, or realize the person next to them is not who they thought they were are all deeply chilling. Emily's ability to analyze the situation is impressive. I just finished watching coherence for the 2nd time. It's been many years since my first watch so I had forgotten many key points, and processed certain things differently. Truly a great movie.
Hello , i dint understand the movie That well , in the end she kills herself. But again her husband from parallel got a call from her..but in the morning it should have all been over right ? After the comet passed
@@sanketpandhi1616 actually she doesn't kill her other version. She just hit her with the thing on the head, which made the other version go unconscious. Later in the morning, both versions of her wake up in their respective places, sofa and tub. The tub one immediately calls her husband and our version is standing with her alternative husband.... That's just my theory
@@Chris-zx1ez TBH, Beth wasn't the only person. Even the protagonist's husband had found her ring in the bathroom. All I can think of is the alternative version of Laura just got up in the middle of the night and went out. Why? I have no idea. Maybe that part was intentionally left unanswered to make way for part 2. IDK. Guess @jim byrkit himself needs to answer this one.
I watched This movie for the first time today and I am just in awe. It’s been so long since I’ve seen a movie that I was just totally blown away by the time it ended. Kudos to you guys for making this fantastic movie. Loved it!
Jim, you've created a gem. When I first watched this movie two years ago I was hooked instantly. I've watched it many times and everytime I watch it I learn something new. I've literally watched it more than 25 times and still haven't lost interest in it. The subject of the movie is just so fascinating and thought-provoking. It's easily in my top 5 favourite movies of all time. Keep up the good work! Good luck for your future endeavours.
dude have you seen Primer? that is a movie that you watch once or twice, feel like you're missing something and then check out some youtube videos that reveal an entire matrix of hidden details you missed, and then you have to watch it again two more times to get all of it. it is brilliant, it's such a sleeper. you don't even realize how amazing it is until you've watched it a few times and paid attention to every miniscule detail that you missed the first time
I think Jim has a new project now, i saw the trailer, it looks pretty sick. It’s not out yet though, but if you like parallel reality shows… Watch “Dark Matter” it’s sick!
What a fantastic film, Jim. Such simple decor and setting but such a clever way to play out the concept. One of my favorite films of all time. So underappreciated.
I just watched this film last night. A great friend of mine recommended it saying it was a great example of what really bad paranoia feels like. Unfortunately I put it on the back burner. He took his own life on Monday. So now I've watched it. Thanks for the recommendation, Doug. And thanks for making the film, James and Co.
Hey Jim, I'm a science fiction writer. One of my readers recommended I watch this based on some overlap in themes with some of my short stories. I had never even heard of it, which shocking because this movie absolutely blew me away. It was also a story after my own heart (my first book, "Other Minds: 13 Tales of Wonder and Sorrow" plays a lot with the idea of encountering other selves, double selves, alternative lives, etc.) Anyway, I just wanted to tell you how much this movie resonated with me. It's hard to believe I've never heard of any of these actors. They were all so believable. The dialog seemed so natural. I loved everything about it. I hope you make more movies because you have an incredible gift for doing a lot with a little.
Came here for a little more explanation on the movie. I plan on watching it a second time. For a lower budget film shot in a living room, I think it was very well done. Two thumbs up!
Jim, can't thank you enough for making Coherence. I grew up on the old b&w Twilight Zones, as well as Amazing Stories and the '85 Twilight Zones, so your movie hit all the checkboxes for me. And so clever! I'm not talking just the plot, but being able to craft the story while being limited to what is essentially one set and making it work. Reminds me of James Wan and Leigh Whannell making "Saw" straight out of Australian film school. Well done. One of my absolute favorites.
Without a script, really? Very impressive. I think adds to the credibility. I`ve seen it many, many times, and don`t get tired. Really good job, Byrkit. Btw, why are you credited James and not Jim?
I'm a Letterboxd fiend and was looking around for a movie for Halloween season and stumbled upon this. At first, I was confused as to how it was a horror but slowly the film's paranoia starts to get under your skin with an ending that elevates/affirms everything the film was about. Definitely the most creeped out I've ever felt by a non-horror film. You are an exciting voice in film and I really hope you direct another film!
Just finished watching and WOW I loved every second of it and I am such a picky watcher. Everyone involved is very talented for pulling off such a complex story line in such a seamless matter.
Im 24 now i saw this movie when i was around 15, it has stuck with me forever. I always recommend it to people no matter what. It has so much in it including topics i absolutely love. I especially love the small cast limited setting movies like yours and Pontypool. Please make more movies and some kind of sequel to Coherence. You are awesome! I will rewatch it until the day I die
Coherence is my all-time favorite movie. I first watched it with my friends during a 'casual movie night,' which quickly turned into us pausing the movie after every twist to discuss what was happening. It was such an interesting, exciting, and thought-provoking experience, and it's almost unbelievable to me that it was made without a script because it was so brilliant. I'm so glad I found your video, and I want to personally thank you for this cinematic experience!
From this movie I learned to beware of perfect realities, b/c jealousy always rears its ugly head and some bimbo that is more dim-witted than you will try to steal your identity. My theory is the Emily that was tracked from the beginning never made it to any of the houses. She died, dude. It was a doppelganger we were following.
Just watched for the first time. I need to express how much I love this movie! Very original and a great plot! Definitely a hidden gem I'm glad to have discovered!
I just watched the movie and I've been reading every single article I could find about it. I already loved this movie but after watching this video, I'm even more impressed. What a well made film honestly, this is going to stay with me for a while.
Watched this movie and was blown away by it. It has been a few months since I watched it but this movie keeps coming back to mind. Once you watch this, it will keep coming back. What a thoughtful work. Thank you Sir!
I just heard about this movie and watched it just now. This explanation makes it easier to keep track of things. I'm gonna watch it a second and third time. This was one of the best thrillers I've seen
I just watched this for the first time today and loved it! I'm honestly about to rewatch it after watching this & a couple of other videos on RUclips that answered some of my questions. I also recently watched It's What's Inside and read an article that you're working with Kate Andrews on a pre-quel?!!! MAKE. IT. HAPPEN. PLEASE! You both made me fall in love with film again through such creative storytelling. Rooting for your continued success from Brooklyn, NY!
Can't thank you enough for making this movie. I saw it for the first time many years ago and loved it, but what's really cool is I re-watch it every 12-24 months and have thoroughly enjoyed each re-watch too. So for the hours and hours of enjoyment you've provided me I want to send a big thank you.
I just watched it because a RUclipsr recommended it as a potential part of the Cloverfield universe. Wow... this was INCREDIBLE. Seriously, with such a small budget, there is no actual script. This was mind-blowing. I would love to see more from you. ❤
i just finished the movie. and wow this is some of the greatest pieces of movies ive ever watched. it was so well done and it really made me get invested. it had just the perfect amount of horror and sci-fi and mystery to it which made me fall in love with the movie. and to find out there was no script and a small budget is just insane to me. i love the work you did on this, and it amazes me i just found out about this. bravo!
This wasn’t my favorite movie thing ever, but to keep me captivated for the entire time when it was just in one place, your living room, shows amazing talent by your part and the actors. I’m definitely a fan of your work from now on.
Just saw it last night with my gf. Very thrilling and exciting. Had to pause it multiple times to discuss and just digest what was happening. Very unique experience. Well done Mr. Jim Byrkit!
After having been on a mental list for ages i first watched the movie very recently, and we need more of this fun, creative stuff that defies initial expectancies completely and thinks out of the box. Somewhat ironically i think 'The Box' - 'Triangle' and 'Primer' are borderline masterpieces, all dealing with vaguely similar things. And now the 'Weeds' intro song is playing in my mind, help! - Will almost certainly support the new project :)
I have seen this about 8 times or more. I really liked it and was fun to pay attention and miss a few things the first time and then pick up details watching again. Sober or not so much. 😁You see more than what seems to be there when you analyze outside the box on it. Thank you for making the movie, Jim.
Just watched this again tonight and I liked it even more than the first time. It's like Inception for me. Inception is a movie that I still don't fully understand long after I've seen it, countless times at this point. Coherence has that same appeal to me now. I may never fully understand it as I watch it, but that will keep me revisiting it for years to come.
Watched the movie the other day. Liked it but was confused about some things. Went to the internet and all the explanations were so complicated that they made it feel like it doesn't even matter who is who anyway. This explanation however is fairly simple and just works. Not every little detail should be studied in great depth to make sense of it.
Jim Byrkit,i love this weird and wonderful movie that I have always suggested to all of my movie night friends.The cast is incredible I felt connected to each character in the story.I was totally engaged from beginning to end. Fantastic and unique body of work .Thank you for exciting my entire brain.
This is an awesome movie, Jim. Not just for a budget movie, but for any movie. Just goes to show you don’t need big name actors and a large special effects. Just a great story and a talented cast 👏🏼
the thing i dont understand about this movie is when someone leaves the house and when they come to a whole different house but for some reason the new house is also missing the person who enters from a whole different dimension.(for example at first Amir and Hugh left the first house and when they enter the second house,that house was also missing that dimensions Hugh and Amir.) not just that one too,none of them meet with themselves while entering the second house
yep. Especially at the beginning, they haven't diverged that much, so often when someone leaves one house, they have also left another... so they don't see each other
I had watched your movie many years ago and I was blown away. It was my first small budget movie and I am so glad I watched it. It is in my all time favorite movie list and I have recommended it to so many people until now.
Jim, you created a MASTERPIECE! Everyone Ive shown this movie to was sucked into it, they never got bored or looked at there phones while watching. Very few films can do that to viewers. In my top 3 favorite sci-fi films of all time.
Just wanted to tell you that even though my bladder was hurting, i didnt take a pee-break because i was so on the edge of my seat the whole time. Its WAYYYY underrated. Good work expanding the Schrodinger's cat experiment.!!!
Well sir, after I experienced the “Mandela Effect”, every possibility was on the table. My search has resulted in learning and appreciating life so much more. I’ve ended in the best possible reality. The past is gone, I’m unscripted, and the wonders and beauty is all around us. Previously, I followed a script, currently, I make my life. Wonderful movie !
this is one of my all time favorite movies, i've watch it so many times... and i always find some new amazing detail. also one of my fav scenes is when em is waiting for kevin to come back, and she watches trough the courtains and you can tell she got scared for real LOL, and she starts laughing and hides from the camera; i love that you left that scene in
Just watched this the other night and LOVED it! Very impressive that there was no script. I have always enjoyed super-low budget flicks, and this one had me impressed the whole time.
I just watched it last night and was BLOWN AWAY!!!! Your movie makes big budget Hollywood films look silly. I was hooked immediately. It was brilliantly written, acted and directed. I can't stop thinking about it. The only other film that captured my imagination like this was Primer. Brilliant!!! Just brilliant!
Watched it a few years ago and I still think about it enough to search for YT content about it apparently. Great film. Absolutely harrowing and unsettling. Can't wait to see what else you've got cooking, existential horror or otherwise.
Watched it with 2 of my friends recently and I can honestly say this will be a cult classic soon. Honestly the film is perfect in almost every way and I couldn't really find plot holes on the rewatch. Sad to know that it went so understated when it was released. Possibly the most somber lovecraftian film haha. Even better than something like Annihilation (I love that too)
Yo Jim , I just watched this movie with my parents. They can't wrap their heads around , neither can I. It was so mind bending and surreal. , props to you and the team , highly underrated movie which I loved. I feel one will see something new and strange every time they watch this movie.
Tal vez este sea el primer comentario en español...Es la segunda vez que veo la película y no me queden dudas que es una obra de arte. Como amante del cine y guionista; llegue por algún comentario de tantos que hay entre cinéfilos. ¡que suerte haber seguido la recomendación de verla! Gracias por crear cine de calidad, con fundamento científico y poco presupuesto! Una muestra de que si se quiere, se puede. Saludos desde Argentina.
I finally saw this movie, and it was great! Now I'm really looking forward to your future works! I appreciate you providing your own discussion on the movie; I feel like we rarely see that. Also, I'm now convinced this movie was a huge inspiration for Jordan's Peele's "Us" lol.
Hi Jim! This was my first time to get really mind blown by the concept of multiple realities a well thought out movie.. this is definitely one of my top movies of all time!!! Love the work i really do
Hey Jim!...just saw your movie...this has to be one of the BEST movies I've ever seen...being a cinephile and having watched soo movies, very few could come close to creating a suspenseful atmosphere throughout the movie as you did in coherence!!!
Just wow!! I don't know if this can count as a found footage movie but if it is, this is the only found footage movie that felt so real to me. I am amazed you guys finished this movie in 5 days with a low budget. A truly masterpiece.
"The original idea of this was more of a horror movie"
You have no idea how terrified I am after watching😭
Yeah. The movie is much scarier than the typical hollywood horror flicks. I was on the edge of my seat nearly the whole movie

I wasn’t a huge fan of the abrupt ending that explains nothin…..some ambiguity is great but too much isn’t
My brother and I watched it back to back 3 times and noticed something different every time. My favourite film.
That's what I love about mind bending films. Each rewatch gives different details.

That’s why I’ve seen this movie like 4 times now
I watched this movie for the first time last night & my girlfriend told me we had seen it before........ Yeah.!!

I noticed this as well, such an incredibly well done moment
Still have goosebumps when she said "we are visitors"

It was a great movie. I look forward to you making another new movie for us!
I just watched this film last night. A great friend of mine recommended it saying it was a great example of what really bad paranoia feels like. Unfortunately I put it on the back burner. He took his own life on Monday. So now I've watched it. Thanks for the recommendation, Doug. And thanks for making the film, James and Co.
🙏
im so sorry for your loss. your friend had really good taste in movies. rip
@@Lowrix100 Thank you for the kind words. He was a brilliant man.
@@Geohara thank you for this and I'm so sorry to hear about Doug
don't worry, there is another reality where he didn't do it❤
I'm sorry too:(
Holy, congratulations to everyone involved on that movie, totally loved it.
Hey Jim,
I'm a science fiction writer. One of my readers recommended I watch this based on some overlap in themes with some of my short stories. I had never even heard of it, which shocking because this movie absolutely blew me away. It was also a story after my own heart (my first book, "Other Minds: 13 Tales of Wonder and Sorrow" plays a lot with the idea of encountering other selves, double selves, alternative lives, etc.) Anyway, I just wanted to tell you how much this movie resonated with me. It's hard to believe I've never heard of any of these actors. They were all so believable. The dialog seemed so natural. I loved everything about it. I hope you make more movies because you have an incredible gift for doing a lot with a little.
This movie is trippy Jim. So well done! Kudos and thank you! Cast and crew killed it 👏🏾 🔥
Came here for a little more explanation on the movie. I plan on watching it a second time. For a lower budget film shot in a living room, I think it was very well done. Two thumbs up!
Jim, can't thank you enough for making Coherence. I grew up on the old b&w Twilight Zones, as well as Amazing Stories and the '85 Twilight Zones, so your movie hit all the checkboxes for me. And so clever! I'm not talking just the plot, but being able to craft the story while being limited to what is essentially one set and making it work. Reminds me of James Wan and Leigh Whannell making "Saw" straight out of Australian film school. Well done. One of my absolute favorites.
Appreciate it!!
Without a script, really? Very impressive. I think adds to the credibility. I`ve seen it many, many times, and don`t get tired. Really good job, Byrkit.
Btw, why are you credited James and not Jim?
Watched it today only. It blew my mind
Absolutely loved it!!!
GREAT
A true cosmic horror gem. Thanks so much for giving us this film.
I'm a Letterboxd fiend and was looking around for a movie for Halloween season and stumbled upon this. At first, I was confused as to how it was a horror but slowly the film's paranoia starts to get under your skin with an ending that elevates/affirms everything the film was about. Definitely the most creeped out I've ever felt by a non-horror film. You are an exciting voice in film and I really hope you direct another film!
Thank you Jim and crew for this masterpiece. I watch it 3 times
Just finished watching and WOW I loved every second of it and I am such a picky watcher. Everyone involved is very talented for pulling off such a complex story line in such a seamless matter.
I agree! Thanks
Im 24 now i saw this movie when i was around 15, it has stuck with me forever. I always recommend it to people no matter what. It has so much in it including topics i absolutely love. I especially love the small cast limited setting movies like yours and Pontypool. Please make more movies and some kind of sequel to Coherence. You are awesome! I will rewatch it until the day I die
Coherence is my all-time favorite movie. I first watched it with my friends during a 'casual movie night,' which quickly turned into us pausing the movie after every twist to discuss what was happening. It was such an interesting, exciting, and thought-provoking experience, and it's almost unbelievable to me that it was made without a script because it was so brilliant. I'm so glad I found your video, and I want to personally thank you for this cinematic experience!
From this movie I learned to beware of perfect realities, b/c jealousy always rears its ugly head and some bimbo that is more dim-witted than you will try to steal your identity. My theory is the Emily that was tracked from the beginning never made it to any of the houses. She died, dude. It was a doppelganger we were following.
Just watched for the first time. I need to express how much I love this movie! Very original and a great plot! Definitely a hidden gem I'm glad to have discovered!
I just watched the movie and I've been reading every single article I could find about it. I already loved this movie but after watching this video, I'm even more impressed. What a well made film honestly, this is going to stay with me for a while.
This is one of the only films I can keep rewatching and never get tired of. Just watched it again tonight.
great... the more the better
Makes me ponder about different versions of ourselves existing within us. What a movie man! Hats Off!🙌
Watched this movie and was blown away by it. It has been a few months since I watched it but this movie keeps coming back to mind. Once you watch this, it will keep coming back. What a thoughtful work. Thank you Sir!
thanks! great to hear
I just heard about this movie and watched it just now. This explanation makes it easier to keep track of things. I'm gonna watch it a second and third time. This was one of the best thrillers I've seen
I hope watching another time was just as fun
@@jimbyrkit6384 I actually bought the movie cause I liked it so much. I watched it several times now.
I just watched this for the first time today and loved it! I'm honestly about to rewatch it after watching this & a couple of other videos on RUclips that answered some of my questions.
I also recently watched It's What's Inside and read an article that you're working with Kate Andrews on a pre-quel?!!! MAKE. IT. HAPPEN. PLEASE!
You both made me fall in love with film again through such creative storytelling. Rooting for your continued success from Brooklyn, NY!
Can't thank you enough for making this movie. I saw it for the first time many years ago and loved it, but what's really cool is I re-watch it every 12-24 months and have thoroughly enjoyed each re-watch too. So for the hours and hours of enjoyment you've provided me I want to send a big thank you.
I just watched it because a RUclipsr recommended it as a potential part of the Cloverfield universe. Wow... this was INCREDIBLE. Seriously, with such a small budget, there is no actual script. This was mind-blowing. I would love to see more from you. ❤
Thank you.
i just finished the movie. and wow this is some of the greatest pieces of movies ive ever watched. it was so well done and it really made me get invested. it had just the perfect amount of horror and sci-fi and mystery to it which made me fall in love with the movie. and to find out there was no script and a small budget is just insane to me. i love the work you did on this, and it amazes me i just found out about this. bravo!
thanks! I'll take it
This wasn’t my favorite movie thing ever, but to keep me captivated for the entire time when it was just in one place, your living room, shows amazing talent by your part and the actors. I’m definitely a fan of your work from now on.
Just saw it last night with my gf. Very thrilling and exciting. Had to pause it multiple times to discuss and just digest what was happening.
Very unique experience. Well done Mr. Jim Byrkit!
Thank you!
this movie absolutely blew my mind, was not expecting that at all !! what a masterpiece
Thanks, it's good to hear
After having been on a mental list for ages i first watched the movie very recently, and we need more of this fun, creative stuff that defies initial expectancies completely and thinks out of the box. Somewhat ironically i think 'The Box' - 'Triangle' and 'Primer' are borderline masterpieces, all dealing with vaguely similar things. And now the 'Weeds' intro song is playing in my mind, help! - Will almost certainly support the new project :)
I have seen this about 8 times or more. I really liked it and was fun to pay attention and miss a few things the first time and then pick up details watching again. Sober or not so much. 😁You see more than what seems to be there when you analyze outside the box on it. Thank you for making the movie, Jim.
Just watched this again tonight and I liked it even more than the first time. It's like Inception for me. Inception is a movie that I still don't fully understand long after I've seen it, countless times at this point. Coherence has that same appeal to me now. I may never fully understand it as I watch it, but that will keep me revisiting it for years to come.
Watched the movie the other day. Liked it but was confused about some things. Went to the internet and all the explanations were so complicated that they made it feel like it doesn't even matter who is who anyway. This explanation however is fairly simple and just works. Not every little detail should be studied in great depth to make sense of it.
Jim Byrkit,i love this weird and wonderful movie that I have always suggested to all of my movie night friends.The cast is incredible I felt connected to each character in the story.I was totally engaged from beginning to end. Fantastic and unique body of work .Thank you for exciting my entire brain.
man, when I found out about that movie it was my discovery of the year
ha, that's great to hear
This is an awesome movie, Jim. Not just for a budget movie, but for any movie. Just goes to show you don’t need big name actors and a large special effects. Just a great story and a talented cast 👏🏼
Just watched it few minutes back! You have done a tremendous job!! 👍👍 The movie is just mind blowing!
the thing i dont understand about this movie is when someone leaves the house and when they come to a whole different house but for some reason the new house is also missing the person who enters from a whole different dimension.(for example at first Amir and Hugh left the first house and when they enter the second house,that house was also missing that dimensions Hugh and Amir.)
not just that one too,none of them meet with themselves while entering the second house
yep. Especially at the beginning, they haven't diverged that much, so often when someone leaves one house, they have also left another... so they don't see each other
@@jimbyrkit6384thanks for explaining
I had watched your movie many years ago and I was blown away. It was my first small budget movie and I am so glad I watched it. It is in my all time favorite movie list and I have recommended it to so many people until now.
love that
Jim, you created a MASTERPIECE! Everyone Ive shown this movie to was sucked into it, they never got bored or looked at there phones while watching. Very few films can do that to viewers. In my top 3 favorite sci-fi films of all time.
much appreciation!!
Just watched it. What a wild movie. So awesome to see what you can do in such little space. VERY excited for your next project!
Just finished this... genius, loved it... it's a topic I think about a lot, loved seeing it brought to life
We need more movies like this one, a m a z i n g , a whole week and still cant stop thinking about it. Congrats!
thank you!
Hi Jim I watched Coherence today. Very good movie. You are a very good director. May you continue to make good movies like this
thanks! trying...
This is in my top three favorite science fiction films. Sooo well done
Just wanted to tell you that even though my bladder was hurting, i didnt take a pee-break because i was so on the edge of my seat the whole time. Its WAYYYY underrated. Good work expanding the Schrodinger's cat experiment.!!!
You are allowed to press pause but THANK YOU!
I've watched coherence so many times ... one of those movies that will stick with you and make you want to rewatch it once in a while
Well sir, after I experienced the “Mandela Effect”, every possibility was on the table. My search has resulted in learning and appreciating life so much more. I’ve ended in the best possible reality. The past is gone, I’m unscripted, and the wonders and beauty is all around us. Previously, I followed a script, currently, I make my life. Wonderful movie !
this is one of my all time favorite movies, i've watch it so many times... and i always find some new amazing detail.
also one of my fav scenes is when em is waiting for kevin to come back, and she watches trough the courtains and you can tell she got scared for real LOL, and she starts laughing and hides from the camera; i love that you left that scene in
One of my favourite movies of all time. I love the intimate cinematography style.
Ha, "intimate" is a kind way to put it. but thank you!
Just watched this the other night and LOVED it! Very impressive that there was no script. I have always enjoyed super-low budget flicks, and this one had me impressed the whole time.
I just watched it last night and was BLOWN AWAY!!!! Your movie makes big budget Hollywood films look silly. I was hooked immediately. It was brilliantly written, acted and directed. I can't stop thinking about it. The only other film that captured my imagination like this was Primer. Brilliant!!! Just brilliant!
hey THANK YOU
Just finished the movie after a recommendation on facebook. WOW what a thriller. It certainly got my gears rolling
I just watched this movie and I was bewildered and amazing. I loved every minute ! Amazing job to you and everyone involved
thank you! we appreciated it
Thank you so much for this masterpiece. It is incredible that you were able to create this story!
Ha, you're welcome!
Thank you for such an amazing experience. May you benefit even more people with this and future projects. A heartfelt thanks from Brazil!
Holy moly, this has been one of my favourite movies for years!! How did I not know this documentary existed?? Unbelievably keen to watch
This will always go down as one of my favorite movies of all time. Thank you guys for making this 🙏
glad to hear!
Watched it a few years ago and I still think about it enough to search for YT content about it apparently. Great film. Absolutely harrowing and unsettling. Can't wait to see what else you've got cooking, existential horror or otherwise.
Watched it with 2 of my friends recently and I can honestly say this will be a cult classic soon. Honestly the film is perfect in almost every way and I couldn't really find plot holes on the rewatch. Sad to know that it went so understated when it was released. Possibly the most somber lovecraftian film haha. Even better than something like Annihilation (I love that too)
I appreciate that! thanks
Yo Jim , I just watched this movie with my parents. They can't wrap their heads around , neither can I. It was so mind bending and surreal. , props to you and the team , highly underrated movie which I loved. I feel one will see something new and strange every time they watch this movie.
Yes, that's the hope!
Tal vez este sea el primer comentario en español...Es la segunda vez que veo la película y no me queden dudas que es una obra de arte. Como amante del cine y guionista; llegue por algún comentario de tantos que hay entre cinéfilos. ¡que suerte haber seguido la recomendación de verla! Gracias por crear cine de calidad, con fundamento científico y poco presupuesto! Una muestra de que si se quiere, se puede. Saludos desde Argentina.
I finally saw this movie, and it was great! Now I'm really looking forward to your future works! I appreciate you providing your own discussion on the movie; I feel like we rarely see that.
Also, I'm now convinced this movie was a huge inspiration for Jordan's Peele's "Us" lol.
It was... I'm glad I could help him out
Hi Jim! This was my first time to get really mind blown by the concept of multiple realities a well thought out movie.. this is definitely one of my top movies of all time!!! Love the work i really do
BEST MOVIE EVER!! Congrats for an amazing movie and I hope to see more of your work!
Hey Jim!...just saw your movie...this has to be one of the BEST movies I've ever seen...being a cinephile and having watched soo movies, very few could come close to creating a suspenseful atmosphere throughout the movie as you did in coherence!!!
Just discovered this wonderful movie! I can't wait to watch it again.
This is legit one of the most underrated movies ever
I love recommending this movie to friends and acquaintances. Great movie!
Just wow!! I don't know if this can count as a found footage movie but if it is, this is the only found footage movie that felt so real to me. I am amazed you guys finished this movie in 5 days with a low budget. A truly masterpiece.
Thanks! No, it's not considered found footage but it was shot to feel real!
