'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.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

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!

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.

Loud and Clear Reviews

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.
