Frequently Asked Questions About CoherenceFAQ About Coherence
Common questions about Coherence and this extraordinary reality-warping story.
Which Em survives at the end?
The Em we follow throughout the movie kills her alternate self in the 'good' timeline to take over her life. However, the final phone call reveals she may not be the only version of Em who had that plan.
What is the significance of the glow sticks?
The glow sticks (red, blue, green) serve as markers to identify different timelines. As the characters move between houses, the color of their glow sticks reveals that they have unknowingly crossed into alternate realities.
Was the movie scripted?
Remarkably, no. The actors were given character notes and a rough outline of events each day, but the dialogue was largely improvised, creating genuine confusion and tension.
What is the Schrodinger's Cat theory mentioned?
The film uses the thought experiment to explain that the comet has caused a state of 'coherence' where all possible realities exist simultaneously until the comet passes and they collapse into one.
