Personal Velocity: Three Portraits (2002)
mostly men being men and ruining women's lives
The movie starts like a punch in the stomach as the narrator begins to tell about Delia. Futhermore, the movie is good as a whole but has some loose ends (i guess due to the time "limit").
I enjoyed the plot overall, but the cinematography was too "free", so the camera wasn't fixed, but followed the characters - which seems to annoy me, because it's hard to make it well done. I also didn't like the "screenshots" moments...just pointless. Finally, the soundtrack didn't stand out for me, but kinda interesting how the stories "connect".
Delia is a woman that suffers domestic violence from her husband - with who she has 3 kids. At least where i live, this "story" is recurrent...you see plenty of Delias everyday all over the world, actually. The only part i didn't like was that scene where it seems she went back to her past... maybe the director couldve put it in another way. Idk. Was surprised seeing Wuntch! (Brooklyn 99) didn't check the cast hehe
the second part, about Greta and her fidelity problems, started out really fine, but i knew something was gonna happen. And i got really pissed off about it (i hate cheating). All the making out scenes felt so unnatural.
The final part, about Paula. I was envolved in it for the most part, but the end was so ???
