I was convinced at first there would be a supernatural element…. but that’s far from what I thought…. but don’t let that deter you this movie is pretty disturbing and at times can be extremely uncomfortable imagine extreme discomfort stretched out over a full length film yep you want that watch this movie lol it’s messed up

Amazing film, beautiful, so dark.
Unsettling with constant tension! Really loved it, unique for sure. I wanted to punch everyone through the whole movie. The girl neighbor, the wife, the husband, the salesman all get punched.
The whole "let's film something that could be a short story and make it into a 90+ min movie" idea plagues the horror genre. Movie after movie filled with dead air (pun intended) and labeled as a "slow burn". Bah! This movie? "The Coffee Table"? "La Mesita del Comedor"?! This movie has NOTHING in common with that ilk. What a tour de force; an absolute roller coaster of bleak, inescapable human behavior when faced with the un-faceable. The acting is outstanding. The premise is believable. Hell -- everything that happens is believable. The absurdity of the coffee table; the opening argument, plunging you right into a most gut-wrenching of scenarios, and what ensues. Whether you believe the coffee table is haunted, the couple is doomed, or this is simply every parent's worst nightmare realized, I guarantee this movie will make hit you where it hurts in the best way imaginable.
