TSJ Reviews Sci-Fi Film Coherence

This low budget science fiction film made in 2013 has crossed my digital feed several times in the past year.  I had heard rumblings about it being “one of the best SF films in recent years” and other glowing comments of that nature.  To be honest, when I finally sat down to watch it …
