PHASE9 movie review

Synopsis

Based on Rebecca Miller's book of short stories, PERSONAL VELOCITY tells the affecting stories of three American women struggling to make sense of the lives they've found themselves living. The film won the Grand Jury Prize and Excellence in Cinematograpy Award at the Sundance Film Festival 2002.

Delia (Kyra Sedgwick) is a young mother stuck in an abusive relationship with her husband of twelve years. One night after he brutally beats her, Delia finally attempts to reclaim some of the power she's completely lost.

Greta (Parker Posey) is a cookbook editor at a crossroads in her life, 'rotten with ambition' and semi-srtruggling with issues of fidelity to her kind and unexciting husband.

Pauls (Fairuza Balk) is thrust into crisis after having a near-death experience. Driving to her mother's house in upstate New York, she picks up a hitchhiker, a badly beaten young boy, who helps her discover a new sense of spirit.

As each story unfolds, each woman finds herself forced to make a decision hat will change her life forever.
