Portret van drie vrouwen, aangekomen op een omslagpunt in hun leven. Delia is een hardwerkende vrouw die haar gewelddadige echtgenoot verlaat, Greta heeft een zeer trouwe, maar saaie relatie, omdat haar vader ontrouw was en Paula is zwanger en loopt weg van huis. (Cinemien)
Recensie (2)
I didn’t like the “independent at all costs" style in which Rebecca Miller approached these portraits. Particularly the over-use of the narrator was downright bothersome. It is cheap and should probably have been made into a radio play. However, Personal Velocity has certain qualities that cannot be denied. While Delia and Greta’s stories are potentially interesting, but boring in form, the portrait of Paula is at least a piece of quality filmmaking, if nothing else. The almost zero use of music was disappointing. All the time I couldn’t help thinking that I was watching a variation on The Hours, just several quality levels lower.

Life speed, life lightness, lifelong ignorance. You can criticize their actions but at the same time, you feel how genuine their stories are. The most memorable experience is definitely the middle narration about Greta. Her emotional motives grip the soul, and the final moment when the heroine realizes what her next journey in life will be like is unforgettable.
