"Jeff Nichols has officially reached the A-List of directors thanks to his work in LRF. Coma marks his first non-blockbuster film in some time, and he proved that he doesn't need a giant blockbuster to make an entertaining film. He has crafted a taut thriler here." - Michael Carthage, Associated Press


"I vaguely recall the original film (directed by Michael Crichton), but this film really brought new life to the property. Elizabeth Olsen and Oscar Isaac are both very solid in the lead roles, and a key supporting role may be my favorite Richard Gere performance in decades." - Glenn Magnus, Maxim


"Last Resort Films has quite the streak of high quality films going here at the start of the second half of the season. Coma, similar to The Birds, takes a familiar story but gives it a fresh, sophisticated revamp from a director and cast at the top of their game." - Ben Bernard, New York Times


Rated R for strong violence, language and sexuality/nudity.
