Review of Lola

Lola (2022)
10/10
A rare masterpiece for hardcore sci-fi readers
24 July 2023
I do not usually rate movies except when I see something surprisingly good. After reading thousands of sci-fi books and comics, it is difficult to find something to like in the seventh art - everything is either a pathetic version of a great story that cannot be translated to the big screen ( Solaris, Dune ), or a movie loosely based on one or more ideas found in the classics of the scifi but so full of clichés that it completely loses the mind twister, the puzzle that is the best part of a scifi story ( I Robot, Ender's game, Avatar, etc ).

There are few movies that can feed the mind like a good scifi story does. I would mention Arrival, Interstellar, and the very few episodes from Babylon V and Battlestar Galactica that deal with the background story and are not just season fillers.

This one is one of them, and surely won its place in my collection of masterpieces.
