About This Movie

So, 'Coalesce' is this raw documentary that came out of the pandemic era, really captures that sense of isolation but also the spark of human connection. Opens in Times Square on New Year's Eve 2020, a chaotic backdrop to what follows. The pacing has this ebb and flow, like a heartbeat—sometimes somber, sometimes uplifting. You see these ordinary folks, doing extraordinary things to connect, share music, and just be there for each other. The practical effects are subtle but effective, highlighting the realness of those moments. It's not about big names or flashy production; it’s the genuine emotion that stands out. Worth a watch if you're into films that feel like a snapshot of a specific time.
