Jesus and Mary are a couple who are going through a difficult period in their relationship. However, they just became parents. To shape their new life, they decide to buy a new coffee table. A decision that will change their existence.. The entire movie was shot over 10 days.. Seller: The glass is unbreakable so your table will last forever.. Featured in Half in the Bag: Top 10 Horror Movies (2024) Part 1 ( 2024). Jesus and Mary begin not in a manger, but in a furniture store, where a bossy salesman works tirelessly to sell them a coffee table. The disgusting piece includes "fake gold" nude female figures and what the man describes as "unbreakable" glass. The new mother is a little in the teeth to give birth and the couple seems to be going through a difficult time in their marriage. The first ten minutes can be described as comedy, but at the halfway point things take a dark turn. Jesus has to assemble the coffee table and an accident causes his world to shatter, and the final act is as well done as anything I’ve ever seen. Ten days of shooting is a miracle these days, and the script is short and smart. Don’t miss The Coffee Table. A solid 9/10. Don’t miss this gem.
