LOLA VERSUS puts the fun in dysfunctional love and is what happens when you shake life up a little bit and let it fall out of your hands.

| Nov 8, 2013

[An] hour and a half of wearisome quirk and smut...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 22, 2012

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 19, 2012

Gerwig's done enough good work to allow us to chalk this one up as a glossy blip.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 19, 2012

Versus what, precisely? Or is it whom?

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 22, 2012

It's such a mopey, navel-gazing affair that even Gerwig has a hard time saving it.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 21, 2012

While Lola is adorable throughout, neither she nor the film will be remembered the morning after.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 15, 2012

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 15, 2012

There's a Fitzgeraldian sense of generational malaise in all of this, but "Lola Versus" is convinced that it's hilarious.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 15, 2012

It's a wonder Gerwig manages to keep the character endearing instead of grating, but she does.

| Original Score: B | Jun 15, 2012

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.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 15, 2012

Screenwriters Daryl Wein (who also directed) and Zoe Lister Jones give Gerwig very little to do other than to be Gerwig.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 14, 2012

It's funny, sweet, wise and even a little life-affirming.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 14, 2012

Too self-conscious, too slight, too few insights.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 14, 2012

The self-pitying Lola, alas, is only sporadically interesting...

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 14, 2012

An unfinished portrait of an unfinished womanchild with fidgety poise nicely embodied by Gerwig.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 14, 2012

A well-intentioned indie that tries to be a "real" version of a Hollywood romantic comedy and ends up feeling more ersatz than ever.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 14, 2012

Unfortunately, Lola lives in a sitcom that deprives her of any intrinsic interest.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 14, 2012

Lola Versus feels more like a slog through the breakup doldrums than the frothy, intimate growing-up story it hints at throughout.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 11, 2012

It's a sweet little diddle of a movie that doesn't make the mistake of tying everything up in a big bright bow.

| Original Score: B+ | Jun 8, 2012
