I have read this review, which claims Coherence is better than Interstellar. Unfortunately, it seems impossible to watch outside the US?

Seems like a pretty good character study, where everyone can blame their irrationality on a comet. The claim that it "does for quantum physics what Looper did for time travel" throws me off, since there's nothing particularly quantum in the trailer. But hey, the reviews are good, and I'm a big fan of those Blair Witch Project style natural-script stories, so I'd certainly be interested in watching it. Needless to say, I'll be monitoring this thread.
ETA: Skimming the review. Tired of scrolling past pages of unoriginal Interstellar critiques. I liked that movie, dammit. If you're worried about the science so much, there's literally a book about that, and it's quite good at justifying the film. And no, love didn't actually matter, like, at all, that was just Nolan putting themes on top of it. As a story, it's great; as hard science fiction, it falls a bit short. But it wasn't meant to be judged as hard science fiction! So don't.
Also, that soundtrack was objectively amazing, no matter what he says.
I wonder how he's gonna 180° into applauding a story whose premise seems to be that a comet causes parallel universes to run into each other …

I also liked Interstellar, additional assertions of brotherhood and commonality. The music, though, I didn't like at all. Sweeping, dramatic orchestral scores are fine, but there's a time for them, and when the sweeping orchestral scores are literally so loud that I can't hear plot-relevant dialogue, You're Doing It Wrong.
I didn't know what Coherence was and clicked this thread from curiosity. Having seen the trailer now, I will continue my disinterest. Internet Guy Away!

I wasn't a big fan.
It's available on pirate netflix though.
