Amidst a period of unprecedented world events, an eighteen-year-old girl's life is placed on hold. Isolated in her bedroom, she falls under the spell of the mysterious vlogger Patricia Coma. As time carries on, the lines between her dreams, fears, hopes, and reality begin to blur into one another. From French master Bertrand Bonello (The Beast, Zombi Child, Nocturama), COMA is "a neo-Lynchian slow burn masterpiece" (International Cinephile Society) that creates a dream-like representation of our present. A "delirious marvel" (The Playlist) that breaks apart boundaries of genre, filmmaking, and storytelling, COMA bravely confronts the anxieties of today in order to imagine the possibilities of the future.

Bonello’s experimental approach brings a new level of desperation to this compressed version of reality.

Slant Magazine

A heady rush of ideas, the film’s avant-garde mélange of live-action footage, abstract video art, and multiple kinds of animation just barely masks that it’s a rather simple story about a Zoomer’s inner struggle.

Rated: 3.5/4

“Coma” is a rather chaotic assortment of ideas and images, reality and dreams. And yet, it captures our disjointed world and our free flowing stream of consciousness, including pervasive anxieties and elusive freedom from cultural conditioning.

Bonello's film is a deeply affecting artifact of sorts: a text that is very clearly situated in a certain time, but with an exposed beating heart that's eternal, ripe for analysis, and, in turn, a launchpad for self-reflection.

Rated: 3.5/5

Spectrum Culture

Bonello’s personal, experimental vision of a teenager in lockdown seems like an underbaked precursor to a far superior work.

Rated: 60/100
