Review For Lola Versus
It's such a mopey, navel-gazing affair that even Gerwig has a hard time saving it. Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic An extremely smart, exquisitely funny film about finding yourself amid the clang and clutter of contemporary life. Connie Ogle-Miami Herald Lola Versus is all Greta all the time, a bonanza for fans and proof that Gerwig's easy offbeat charm, obvious smarts and physical comedy gifts can carry a film. Jennie Punter-Globe and Mail There's a Fitzgeraldian sense of generational malaise in all of this, but "Lola Versus" is convinced that it's hilarious. Rafer Guzman-Newsday It's a wonder Gerwig manages to keep the character endearing instead of grating, but she does. Tom Long-Detroit News Gerwig remains one of the most captivating new stars to hit the big screen, but she's still looking for a movie that deserves her. Ann Hornaday-Washington Post I didn't dislike this movie because I'm a man. I generally disliked this movie because I felt the main character was a bit pathetic. Kevin Carr-7M Pictures Lola Versus is for anyone who still finds the self-involved romantic-comedic travails of a floundering yet privileged aspiring writer amusing. Chuck Bowen-Slant Magazine Lola Versus is a misguided attempt at a romantic-comedy that doesn't feature one bit of originality. The only thing even slightly holding it together is Greta Gerwig, who does her best to stop the film from falling apart. Jeff Beck-We Got This Covered Lola Versus has plenty of potential, but with a script that has absolutely no handle on its lead character, the experience quickly becomes unbearably frustrating. Jonathan Lack-We Got This Covered More enjoyable than it ought to be. Erick Weber-NECN So awesome, universe! The world hasn't been full enough yet of movies about women who are almost totally obsessed almost exclusively with romance that we cannot use one more of them. Hoorah! MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher There's a distinct lack of individuality and insight and, appositely enough, if Lola Versus is about a woman floundering, as a film it can be accused of the same. Emma Simmonds-The List [An] hour and a half of wearisome quirk and smut... Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph The producer, Michael London, has been associated with some rather good films, but this is not one of them. Philip French-Observer [UK] It doesn't always succeed but this sometimes affecting, sometimes darkly funny film is perfect sofa fodder for anyone nursing a broken heart. Alex Zane-Sun Online Gerwig's dreamy style worked in Whit Stillman's Damsels in Distress, because the movie created an eco-system of oddity in which that style could thrive. But here it just grates. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] Gerwig's done enough good work to allow us to chalk this one up as a glossy blip. Sherwyn Spencer-Little White Lies Enjoyable relationship comedy that commendably avoids some of the usual clichés and succeeds thanks to Greta Gerwig's natural charisma ... Matthew Turner-ViewLondon Gerwig charms, but the laughs fall flat under the incessant naval-gazing. James Mottram-Total Film Essentially, this is Gerwig's natural charm versus her character and script's lack of it. Amber Wilkinson-Eye for Film Greta Gerwig makes something of a success out of this mixed bag of rom-com tropes and indie quirks. Charlie Lyne-Ultra Culture [Gerwig's] presence in the center almost makes "Lola Versus" watchable even as it starts to get formulaic, preachy and tiresome. Shawn Levy-Oregonian ... at heart it's just a trite and shallow Hollywood rom-com ... Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review "Lola Versus" is a heavyweight fight Gerwig just can't win. Graham Killeen-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel A more or less conventional sitcom in 'indie' disguise, the film functions most effectively as a low-wattage starring vehicle for the habitually charming Gerwig... John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
