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.

Rated: 3.0

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.

Rated: 3/5

Surprisingly touching, Speed of Life showcases Ann Dowd, in a winning performance that reflects on life and love - and the cosmic significance of David Bowie.

What perfect timing that is for this little time-twisting indie gem.

'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!
