Makings of a great movie but screenwriters and editors clearly championed 2 different hypothesis and epilogues for this movie but Ann Dowd is phenomenal as usual!

Although the movie has a wormhole around the story toss out any realism around that. The true focus of the movie is about relationships and how they can change over time in my opinion.

It also shows what life might be like in 2024 but I wouldn't take any of that seriously. The focus is indeed on the relationships of people.

I loved how it showed what young people might be focused on versus what they might be focused on later in life.

Loved the pacing of it too.

It might not be to everyone's taste but I could watch it again.

I'm not trying to mean. I'm happy that people have the opportunity to create and market their movies outside of the conglomerate that is the Hollywood mainstream.

That said, you still have to have some skill, and this movie didn't reflect that.

Boring, pointless, no true plot direction, no drama/comedy/or any identifiable genre components, unattractive actors/actresses (sorry, but true), very poor casting, non-sensical writing...I can go on, but I won't.

More than anything else, this was a poorly written movie. The dialog was dumb at best, methodically lost at worse. The plot, full of holes a Mack truck could manage through, went no where and made no sense and did absolutely nothing for the viewer. Nothing.

Speed of Life wasn't so much a bad movie as it was bland and un-entertaining. 2/10.

If you're into explosions and action, then this isn't the movie for you but if you enjoy human connection, careful consideration of the human experience and superb acting, then you will enjoy this film. Ann Dowd shines in the main role and her supporting cast does a stellar job. The direction is strong and I thought they made a great story based all in one location. There is a "ticking clock" in the story that I thought could have been utilized more, but all in all, this is a fantastic film. Considering the budget, they all did a wonderful job!

What a nice little movie. Although there's no WoW moment, I consider it very special. This movie is more than well done. It's a simple story with a supernatural aspect. And the way it's presented is just very beautiful to watch. Might not be everybody's cup of tea, but for me, I enjoy movies like this big time.

I knew nothing about this, but was really impressed with how cleverly it was written. The actors do a wonderful job and I found myself thinking about this for several days after viewing it. See it if you can!

I rarely watch a flick without knowing more right off the bat, but turned it on a whim. A touch of sci-fi with some added Rom-com was a real treat. Some very imaginative twists made it time well spent.

This cutesy story is solely focused on a couple and their love story with just a dribble of futurism/scifi. Yes there is a wormhole but it isn't the main focus of the movie nor is any of the futuristic dilemas the planet seems to have headed toward. If you watch movies because a plot reads well and not based on what common folk write then you'll enjoy this film quite a bit. However, reading reviews afterward I did have many questions that will be left unanswered by this film; but that none that many other films or real life aren't already discussing.

Great story, great acting. Really sweet. The cast is phenomenal.

I was fortunate to catch a screening of this film at USC shortly before its online premiere.

Short, simple, and touching. I loved the relationships in the film, the tongue in cheek jokes about the future, and the emotions behind moving on.

This is a film that's for everyone. David Bowie has died and the world will turn upside down for one woman. SPEED OF LIFE offers a love story within some seriously bizarre and strange circumstances. But when is love actually normal?

This is a great low-key sci-fi film. Those who rate it a 1 or 2 need to stick with their Marvel super-hero movies.

The acting is totally professional, the plot is strong. The atmosphere of the film is authentic, unlike most multi-million Hollywood wastes.

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