Soundtrack to a Coup d'État (2024) 97% 5/5 “An inspired detective-like piecing-together of a painful, chronologically shredded historical trajectory that might have been too ambitious (or impossible) to cover without the cleverly devised bebop shortcuts.” – Lola On Film Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 84% 3/5 “This fascinating story of death and desire slowly succumbs to becoming the very disease it depicts, mesmerised by its own beautiful, soulless emptiness, fully open to the seductive corruption it so masterfully and pedantically conveys. ” – Lola On Film Mar 25, 2025 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% 4/5 “Electrifying (pun intended) [...] despite a few glitches in its finely threaded matrix, mostly in places where it tries too hard to be Dylanesque. ” – Lola On Film Feb 28, 2025 Full Review A Sacrifice (2024) 22% 2/5 “Quickly slips into a rushed set of simplified conclusions which undermine the backbone of a solid story tackling important themes — the danger of groupthink, eco-doomsday cults, and the siren spell of internet gurus.” – Lola On Film Jan 5, 2025 Full Review Juror #2 (2024) 93% 3/5 “It is a pity that in steadily manning this ship, Eastwood stops short each time the actors arrive at a point of inner truth, pulling them back into the broader picture, pushing for the examination of an entire society.” – Lola On Film Dec 26, 2024 Full Review Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) 31% 1/5 “A failed musical courtroom melodrama, whose bloated agenda betrayed Phoenix’s singular creation, a living entity of its own, haunting the popular mythos, which is possibly the worst thing storytellers can do.” – Lola On Film Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Conclave (2024) 93% 5/5 “Pure cinema. Its script airtight, intelligent, playful, and subversively camp [...] serving perfectly as a baroque map to its labyrinthian intrigue.” – Lola On Film Dec 8, 2024 Full Review Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person (2023) 90% 3/5 “A dented but delightful genre upgrade, steering the archetypal tale of undead bloodsuckers into comfortable Addams Family territory — then radicalising it with a daring Nietzschean twist.” – Lola On Film Nov 30, 2024 Full Review Freud's Last Session (2023) 44% 4/5 “Smooth and enjoyable as a gorgeous piece of chamber music.” – Lola On Film Nov 29, 2024 Full Review Surveilled (2024) 2/5 “Albeit being a lightweight documentary on an extremely heavyweight subject, [it] still deserves kudos on tackling this terrifying topic, and the endless dire implications abuse of spyware has.” – Lola On Film Nov 28, 2024 Full Review The Universal Theory (2023) 70% 3/5 “A feverish metaphysical noir, opaque, dreamlike, shot in exquisite monochrome, yet it fails in its pedestrian third act, leading us to a place where all its strange strands meet, and instead of ending in apt enigma — delivers an essay.” – Lola On Film Sep 14, 2024 Full Review Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) 90% 3/5 “[Its] weaknesses [...] are mostly of the thespian kind, as the acrobatics of the mise-en-scène are as diabolically fascinating as ever, and hardly skip a beat in the red dust of the post-Australian Wasteland.” – Lola On Film Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Catching Fire: The Story of Anita Pallenberg (2023) 88% 4/5 “Fascinating and classy, both tough-as-nails and tender — an exhilarating watch.” – Lola On Film Aug 25, 2024 Full Review Priscilla (2023) 84% 4/5 “There was a void, endless and dark, in the comfort of Priscilla's existence. As well as love, disturbingly abusive yet enduring. And Sofia Coppola nailed all that queasy glamour and somnambulic psychosexual malaise to a tee.” – Lola On Film Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Back to Black (2024) 35% 3/5 “Make[s] the central emotional drama of [Amy Winehouse's] final years clearer to the audiences by elevating her relationship with Blake Fielder-Civil to the position it actually had in her life.” – Lola On Film Jun 16, 2024 Full Review La Chimera (2023) 95% 5/5 “Poetic, mischievous, perfectly formed [...] Half fairytale, half heist, the film is a chimera in its own right, a hybrid consisting of parts that usually would not fit, but seem to exist together on screen, seamlessly.” – Lola On Film May 29, 2024 Full Review Dune: Part Two (2024) 92% 1/5 “A triumph of style over substance.” – Lola On Film May 27, 2024 Full Review Maestro (2023) 78% 2/5 “Offers little more than something akin to a prolonged high-end fashion mag photoshoot, with a perfunctory script included — until its very end, when it decides to become an actual biopic of Leonard Bernstein.” – Lola On Film May 22, 2024 Full Review Scoop (2024) 76% 2/5 “[The film] does show a divided society — tainted by injustice, stratified by status, education, presentation, and the potluck of birth. And then, it inexplicably decides to make the pleasures of social mobility its point.” – Lola On Film Apr 15, 2024 Full Review Anatomy of a Fall (2023) 96% 4/5 “A proper postmodern 21st century mystery, ambivalent to its very core, leaving ample space for lingering suspicions and complex afterthoughts.” – Lola On Film Apr 12, 2024 Full Review The Zone of Interest (2023) 93% 5/5 “Dedicate a decade of one's life on a conceptual film on the diabolical mechanics of the Holocaust, then craft it to appear as meticulously chilling and banal as its architects. [...] Jonathan Glazer is precisely that kind of courageous artist.” – Lola On Film Mar 17, 2024 Full Review Nyad (2023) 85% 3/5 “An earnest biopic on a fascinating character, played with great complexity by Annette Bening, a force of nature, in her own right, employed in this story to full artistic capacity.” – Lola On Film Mar 2, 2024 Full Review Quo Vadis, Aida? (2020) 100% 5/5 “Whoever lived in the chauvinist squalor that was the 1990s in the Balkans, a time when avenging ghosts and delusional violent men ravaged these lands, knows the truth when they see it. There may be many paths to it [...] But there is only one destination.” – Lola On Film Feb 25, 2024 Full Review Crazy, Not Insane (2020) 94% 4/5 “Dr. Lewis is exceptionally empathetic, at the same time, she is painstakingly, surgically inspecting every facet of the perpetrators’ lives [...] like a true detective would (a parallel she would appreciate), tracing the villain origins of [DID] creation.” – Lola On Film Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Napoleon (2023) 58% 3/5 “Who was it that said history was just one damn thing after another? This is what Sir Ridley Scott's epic [...] feels like when not focused on the electrifying performance of Joaquin Phoenix. ” – Lola On Film Jan 21, 2024 Full Review
