I wanted to talk about this movie on another occasion, once I had more followers, but who cares? After all, it is possible that this will never happen. So I decided to talk about Coherence, a fantastic science fiction movie, which I'm sure many did not see yet, and after seeing it they would thank me for having recommended them.

Plot
Em, a dancer, agreed to have dinner with her friends at the house of one of them. Then, she discovers that the ex-girlfriend of her current partner has also been invited to the dinner, in addition, everything starts to get complicated when the passage of a comet combined with a blackout begin to generate strange events.
Opinion
The film begins with a slow pace, it takes between 15 and 20 minutes for the viewer to begin to "understand" what it is that he is seeing, but it is too late, when the action begins we have overlooked too many details, however, we will not know that we have let them pass, but until the end. Simply fantastic.
Unfortunately, that slow start, along with the fact that is a low budget film, ends up scare away many viewers, who judge the film in advance, so they do not continue to see it. What in my opinion is a loss for them, because this is one of the best films I saw in my life.
In 1923 a comet passed over Finland. Then, a woman called the police station and said, "The man in my house is not my husband." The police went to the house and told the woman, "This is your husband." and she replied, "No. This is not my husband, I killed my husband yesterday, that's how I know it's not him." But they couldn't arrest her, because he was standing, right there in front in them.
Do you have any theory about it?
If you want the answer you have to see the movie. Because with that disturbing story, begins the dilemma of a group of friends who met for dinner exactly the same day that another mysterious comet will pass the planet.
Saying all that I mentioned so far, the best thing is that you do not know anything else about the film, especially about its central idea. The best thing, in fact, is that if you did not see it, stop reading right now, do not watch the trailer, and just go and see it, which in fact, is available on YouTube.
The performances of the film are wonderful, without special effects and without the need to hire Robert Downey Jr. or Jennifer Lawrence, and with a fairly low budget, what the director gets is pure gold. The actors transmit what happens in the plot, so that any viewer gets an immersive experience during the short duration of the film.
Mystery and intrigue is something that they have managed to structure very well in the film, while we watch the movie we ask ourselves questions and try to find answers, but only more and more questions arise, and when it seems that we finally find some answers, the film ends, and leaves us with new questions.
I watched the film three times practically in a row, and forced several of my family members to see it, in such a way that I did not need to see it again to write this review, so I relied totally on the memory I have of the film, which I saw some months ago. At that time I searched for answers on the Internet, which I did not get, so I wrote my own explanation about the sequence of events that take place in the film, and that I never published. So if you watch the movie, or have already seen it, and would like to read my explanation, you can tell me in the comments.

Score
9/10
Excellent movie, shows that it is possible to do a lot with little. Once the first 15 minutes have passed, the action begins and totally submerged us in its story. I recommend it.
