Lola

Lets go to the good part about this movie.

-good cinematography -Raven Goodwin

now the bad one.

-Can someone tell now, what the f does the richest daughter in the entire country, knows about everything she talked about?

-Im only seeing a rich girl make an aesthetic of this life style.

-Her acting is awful, no soul, she doesn't dig more when she acts, always at the same level of boringness.

-The characters are flat, and its probably just because of the acting.

-Feels like a trauma dumping story from the author and the author probably doesn't know what it feels like to not have food on you're plate

If i could put a zero star, i would.

No one needed to see this movie.

As a passionate moviegoer, I had high hopes for "Lola," but sadly, it fell short in almost every aspect. From the wooden acting to the terrible Directing, this film left much to be desired.

First and foremost, the characters lacked depth and authenticity. It felt like I was watching cardboard cutouts recite lines rather than witnessing genuine human emotion. The lead actress failed to convey any real connection with the audience, making it difficult to empathize with her journey.

The pacing was another major issue. Scenes dragged on unnecessarily, while crucial plot points were rushed through, leaving me feeling disconnected and disinterested in the outcome.

Overall, "Lola" was a forgettable and lackluster cinematic experience. Save your time and money for a film that truly delivers on its promises.

I'm not even sure if this film deserves a bad review or if it's better to just pretend I didn't endure this incredibly bad movie. Lola feels like the director decided to film the beat sheet instead of the actual script. The pacing is rushed, as if the goal was to get through the story quickly just to linger on longer close-up shots of Nicola Peltz Beckham's face. My initial thought was, "Does the director have a crush on Nicola?" Then I realized-she is the director, and also the writer. Suddenly, it all made sense. This film is nothing more than a vanity project, and it painfully shows.

I do have to compliment the Director of Photography.

First of all the style and photography of this film are good. I really enjoyed the style and way it was shot.

The story is a sombre tale of a dysfunctional family which in itself is fine but it really lacks the emotional weight to carry this through.

Luke David Blumm was good but more focus should have been on him, he is the centrepiece of the story.

Instead the film focuses around Lola played by Nichola Peltz Beckham..I thought that was a strange decision then lo and behold i find out it was written and produced by Nichola...

Rather than focus on the story and key characters we focus on Nichola, Nichola with her brother ( the best bits ) , Nichola arguing with her mum ( not so great or believable), Virginia Madson does an ok job of being a toxic mum.

Nichola with her friend ( kind of fun ) Raven Goodwin is decent.

Nichola at the strip club.

Nichola with her, kind of boyfriend ?

Nichola staring blankly into the distance.

Nichola looking upset with a blank stare.

Nicholas make up never changing throughout, sleeping, baths, rape, tears and trauma.

Plaudits to the DoP on this film as its beautifully shot and while Nichola is a beautiful girl she gets tiresome and lacks the emotional weight to pull off the character.

This could have been a lot better if Nichola was able to step back more and create something that was not just a Nichola Pelz Beckham showreel.

I guess when you have a billionaire father and Millionaire husband anything is possible though.

5/10.

As others have said, the 10/10 reviews are obviously from shills connected with the movie or friends of Mrs Peltz-Beckham. The simple fact that it was written by, directed by, and stars Nicola should make you suspect that this is purely a vanity project, much like her husband's attempts to portray himself as a photographer and/or chef. And you would be right as she spends most of the film looking dead behind the eyes and completely detached from the storyline. She should stick to doing what she does best, being a "poor little rich girl", as she sure as hell doesn't have a future in the film industry.
