PrivateBiscuit1 10/17/20 11:32:36 PM #190:	DAY 17.2: Coherence On Amazon Prime I fuckin' love Coherence At a dinner party, a comet goes overhead. After their power goes out, they suddenly realize that things at their simple dinner party may be involved in a mysterious phenomenon. So this movie is actually really special for a lot of reasons. The first of which, and I found this out by doing research, is that this was filmed in the director's house, with some of the director's actor friends that he knew would be good at improvising. He would then give them all individual notecards with the character's motivations for scenes, and they would just react. But they never knew what was on anyone else's card, so every reaction was on the fly. The improvisation works because they had such a good cast here. The narrative doesn't feel lacking in any spots as a result of this, and everything feels so natural for a group of close friends who are in the middle of a complete cosmic shitshow. The camera shots are done by handcam for most of the scenes, making it seem like you're right there, just among the party guests, and I'm sure it was by design. Still, this gives you excellent shots and the directing is just superb that you never feel like it gets in the way. You end up feeling everything with the group or the individual. And the plot... whew boy. There's SCIENCE involved here, but it dumbs it down for you to understand what's going on. And like I said, it progresses along just fine--as if you're just in the group experiencing it with them. When it starts to hit its last act, things get tense. And it's written in such a way that I think you notice more. It took me after the movie to really get why something happened later in the movie, is because someone mentioned it earlier in the movie. It's really special the way they chose to do that, and you can tell a lot of work went into the script, as unconventional as it may be. The ending of the movie is actually really satisfying. It makes the trip feel worth it in its own crazy way, even if it doesn't end conclusively. So I really recommend Coherence. Rating: 7.5/10 --- I stream sometimes.
