Lola Versus Reviews

Movie Reviews

• yet the filmmakers also have a bad case of myopia when it comes to their heroine, who - like the characters on TV's "Girls" - may not engender all the empathy they're counting on

  by Stephen Whitty [Newark Star-Ledger ]

• transcends being just another chick flick and becomes an exploration of a subject that should ring true for just about every female viewer

  by Sara Stewart [New York Post ]

• this intentionally meta movie feels less subversive than Safety Not Guaranteed

  by Karina Longworth [Village Voice ]

• there are strong, complicated emotions implicit in the story

  by A.O. Scott [New York Times ]

• the script is full of vegan references, which represent its only true attempt at originality, but that's far from enough

  by David Noh [Film Journal International ]

• one of the strengths the filmmakers have is in dialogue that is smartly sharp without seeming too precious or too caustic

  by Betsy Sharkey [Los Angeles Times ]

• lister-Jones makes an amusingly dry sidekick, but she’s basically recycling her role on the sitcom “Whitney.”

  by Elizabeth Weitzman [New York Daily News ]

• it’s a sweet little diddle of a movie that doesn’t make the mistake of tying everything up in a big bright bow

  Review rate : B+ by Peter Rainer [Christian Science Monitor ]

• it is the movie’s uneven writing-half funny and daring, half punishing and senseless

  by Mary F. Pols [TIME Magazine ]

• in many ways, Lola Versus puts an indie spin on a Hollywood romantic comedy

  by James Berardinelli [ReelViews ]

• has made irrelevant

  Review rate : B- by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly ]

• clearly shot swiftly and off the cuff, the movie has a great cast

  by James Rocchi [MSN Movies ]
