9/10
You have to pay attention

"This whole night we've been worrying..there's some dark version of us out there somewhere. What if we're the dark version?"

After watching so many movies, and spending so much time with comparable conceptions; I think it's safe to say that 'Coherence' is the epitome of such mind-numbing features. This is well thought out, terrifically directed, and organized, and above all, they managed to sustain their focus and priority on the core subject without deviating unnecessarily from their premeditated path.

It's quite unreal to catch a glimpse of what could be accomplished even with a limited amount of resources. They had a small house, and some exterior space to place their gears/equipment, they didn't have big names to fill in, or any grandeur to lure the audience but what they had is a strong script and a competent crew that was well aware of their chores and responsibilities.

And you can see where that led them to, a freaking brilliant presentation that boggles your mind, puts stress on your brain cells, compel you to contemplate, and does all that without getting overboard with the notion. Aspiring filmmakers should take a lesson or two!

P. S. A word of advice though, To fully grasp whatever that is transpiring on-screen, you got to be vigilant, no two ways about it, there's no space for absentmindedness, you got to be on your toes, and you have to pay full attention, or else, you would miss the smallest of the details, which will eventually make this whole thing much more difficult for you to comprehend.
