The Incoherents

“THE INCOHERENTS has a great soundtrack with really entertaining music from the namesake band.  The band itself has a fun punk rock style that has a classic quality to it.  It will pick you up during the shows / rehearsals and keep you rocking out throughout this charming film. Strong cast, fantastic music and plenty of heart.” - watchorpass

"THE INCOHERENTS takes an age-old cliché of musical cinema, but flips it to give it the right blend of comic and dramatic edge." - filmandtvnow

"THE INCOHERENTS is high on my rock ‘n’ roll charts as a gold record-standard for accuracy in the lives of the men and women who suffer for their art. What sells (it) is the ’90s college-rock retro original music that breathes life into the faux-proceedings. Actors Alex Emanuel and Jeff Auer—both accomplished musicians in their own right—wrote and perform the band’s songs; their backing band features ‘90s alt-rockers Sean Eden from Luna and drummer Kevin March of Guided by Voices. A great song—or songs—can sell a film... and THE INCOHERENTS brings the tunes to the turntable." - bandsaboutmovies

"Movies about rock n' roll often revel in the glamor of it all. Sex and drugs, the inevitable rise to fame, and then the fall from graces are often the key elements. It is refreshing that THE INCOHERENTS avoids all that. This is not a film about the allure of rock n' roll but rather about the joy of playing music." - darkofthematinee

"A fun movie with a lot of heart. THE INCOHERENTS songs perfectly capture the kind of early 90’s proto-pop punk zeal." - kicking the seat

"The charisma of the actors goes a long way... (THE INCOHERENTS is) bolstered by an infectiously joyous spirit and admirable energy. Those with fond memories of 1990’s bands like Soundgarden and Pixies will especially respond to the nostalgic vibes. (Jared) Barel studies the paradigm shift, how millennials replaced those live music acts, making them a subgenre of a niche market. THE INCOHERENTS is ultimately about being okay with leaving the past in the past." - filmthreat

"An enjoyable ride powered by the band’s grunge rock sound (all their songs were written by Jeff Auer and Alex Emanuel)" - thesavvyscreener

"THE INCOHERENTS captures the feeling of being pulled in different directions incredibly well..Anyone who has ever dealt with adversity while following a dream will likely have trouble resisting this film’s strong emotional hooks. There’s such a universality to the story that even if you have no connection whatsoever to the musical niche the band fills, you’ll have a great time with THE INCOHERENTS." - behindtherabbit

"THE INCOHERENTS is a rock ‘n’ roll comedy with an air of authenticity." - NJ Arts

"(THE INCOHERENTS) hammers home the truth about the mixture of music, business and the overabundance of social media in today’s scene, it is a good story, with pithy moments and above average acting." - ffanzeen

"THE INCOHERENTS is inspiring. A walk down 90's indie-rock memory lane." - rich girl network tv

"THE INCOHERENTS is genuinely funny.  This is a movie that isn’t afraid to make fun of itself.  It mocks middle-aged masculinity, while at the same time laughing at the very idea of rock as an exclusive club of cool. THE INCOHERENTS makes an intelligent distinction between art itself, and the wealth and fame that are often associated with artistic success.  At its heart, this film reminds us that rock ‘n roll is for everyone, not just the young and trendy." - wyliewrites

"If you are into the music of the era and enjoy a good comedy/drama, then check out THE INCOHERENTS." - aced magazine

“THE INCOHERENTS, a love letter to early 1990s rock n’ roll.” - The Irish Echo

"The latest must-see, must-hear tale about New York rock-n-roll. At the end of the day, watching this particular movie at this particular time, there seemed to me something deeper at stake in it, too, and really satisfying. All New Yorkers, especially creatives, are now at the beginnings of another comeback—from a revolutionary epidemic that crept up on us as we all slept. But New York City goes on, revolutionarily ever after, ever the same, ever different. But it is always the comeback that counts. Rock on. The rest we’ll figure out. Just like THE INCOHERENTS." - boogcity

“THE INCOHERENTS is very much a New York movie... “Rock and roll is not the cultural force it used to be, it’s a niche now” is a truism at the heart of the movie.” - The Houston Press

"THE INCOHERENTS is a blast and a half (and) has a collection of tunes that perfectly capture the era." - from and inspired by

“Pretty damn good music! The whole thing was just very well written and gelled together nicely. Pleasant surprise movies are always a treat!” - reel reviews over brews

“You can almost also say THE INCOHERENTS is the story of old blues and jazz musicians trying to make it into today’s music world.  They think all you need is talent. But the movie does show you both sides of the coin.  Talent and how to keep an audience... The story and music are great.  It has a great message and the music is catchy and listenable.” - unrated magazine

“(A) fun and innocent flick about growing up and remaining young!” - newsbreak

“The film takes a fun and brutally honest look at the hopes, lives, dreams, trials and tribulations of the band members as they work to get “THE INCOHERENTS” back together. The writing is brutally honest, funny at points and manages to skip the over-the-top clichés while focusing more on real life hurdles that band members would surely encounter in this situation.” - it’s just movies

“Sometimes the biggest challenge people face while pursuing their dreams is mustering the courage to actually start the process of going after what they want. That’s certainly the case in the new comedy, ‘THE INCOHERENTS.’” - shockya

“If you like your 90’s alt rock you’ll dig the tunes. The vibe there is authentic and they serve the film well. The idea of getting the band back together is always a fun trope in rock ‘n’ roll fantasies and provides the structure of the piece, and if this is going to succeed to their wildest imaginations or maybe fall flat on its face is the fun of the pic. I found the film just what the doctor ordered in our concert-less world of Covid 19.” - deeper digs

"THE INCOHERENTS is a film about life choices as much as it is about music and musicians. We all know it ain’t easy to have a successful band, no matter how easy it looks from the audience. The odds of making it are slim at best. And the odds of coming back after years of dormancy are even slimmer. Why go through the struggle? The answer of course is: the love of the music. Regardless of your calling, it’s all about the passion. Ultimately, that’s the message of the film for me. You can feel their struggles and conflicts, and you want them to succeed. The fact that this is all done with so much humor and great songs is icing on the cake!” -Rocker Richard Barone for NJ Stage

"The original songs and the soundtrack selections give the film its sense of pulse and reinforce the film’s palpable desire to create a love letter to the 80's/early 90's rock ‘n roll scene in America. It successfully captures an early-90s indie feel, which is frequently charming due to the performers and Auer’s often witty dialogue." - viddywell

"A fun underdog story that only wants to entertain. Auer's dialogue is a highlight of THE INCOHERENTS. The script weaves between comedy and drama seamlessly." - aiptcomics
