Also, check out Coherence from 2013. And I beg you don’t try to watch the second movie of the man from Earth. Your disappointment would just destroy the whole original movie magic. It’s easily the worst thing I ever watched, the second movie. The first one is one of my favourites.

    Coherence was a mind fuck, but I caught on eventually. The Man from Earth was amazing. I kinda guessed the spoiler just before it got revealed, just because my mind is weird, I guess, but that didn't take away from the enjoyment.

    I find I really like this one-room ensemble movie genre. Reminds me of well made theater plays.

    Yeah, some of my favorite films fall into that category. Recently watched one I hadn't seen before. Tape with Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman. A drama. Takes place in a hotel room. Things slowly go off the rails. Directed by Richard Linklater, a dialogue heavy director people tend to love or hate. I've always enjoyed his films.
