Miller is a witty and socially acute observer; the three portraits in "Personal Velocity" are told with both novelistic richness and brisk, confident economy.

By the end of Personal Velocity, you want to invite all three female characters around for coffee to hear what happened next, and I can think of no higher praise for everyone involved.

This uneven triptych features flawed female heroines whose woes are attributable to unstable or bland male partners and simple bad luck.

Story about life's turning points is not for kids.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 27, 2010

Although each woman has only about half an hour of screen time, all three are more fully realized characters than any woman in a typical two-hour Hollywood blockbuster.

It's quite a stylised piece and it's credit to the cast and the filmmakers that the characters engage us to the extent that they do.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 21, 2003

Three short stories about women at turning points in their lives, the movie gains power by condensing each story to 30 minutes each.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 29, 2003

Miller's film is bold and hearty, but it's also a ham-fisted wallop to the senses.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 4, 2003

Unless you're the sort of person who loves the fiction found in The New Yorker and smaller literary magazines, you'd better avoid Personal Velocity.

All three women deliver remarkable performances.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Jan 24, 2003

You can't really blame Miller for being in love with her own words, but this film is more like a slide show accompanied by an audio book than a movie.

| Original Score: C- | Jan 20, 2003

A trilogy of stories about women on the edge that features no less than three rotten dads.
