Though it may not get the mechanics of quantum physics exactly right, SPEED LIFE gets everything else about how the universe works just about perfect.

3/5

Though Manashil's drama originates from the interesting premise of David Bowie's death creating a hole in the universe, it's the lack of plausible, original explanations for its dystopian elements that doesn't let the audience fully engage with it.

David Bowie couldn't have asked for a better legacy.

Well-acted, original sci-fi indie is short and sweet.

It speaks to [director Liz Manashil's] talents that she can make something so resonant whilst being forced to dance around the emotional core of the film.

This movie had so much untapped potential . The ideal, the actors the sci fi elements . It just never reached it, but still a good movie I guess . Anything original gets my nod 2.9

'Speed of Life' is so effortlessly at ease in telling this wildly romantic and soulful story of a woman dealing with the death of the late musician, David Bowie. Plus there's sci-fi, Ann Dowd and a perfect ending, the kind that will make you smile for hours afterward.

Speed of Light is an intimate portrayal of love and strange loss, reframing the genre of science-fiction with the familiar banter, tension, and softness of a significant relationship. It makes for a unique but entirely relatable piece!
