Lola (2022)
10/10
A clever, spirited, emotional alternate history tale
7 August 2023
A microbudget found-footage effort channeling the likes of Man in the High Castle meets The War Game meets Primer. Very technically impressive and clever, emotionally sturdy and full of energy. While it's admirable what the filmmakers accomplished, it does feel like an extra 20 minutes could've explored the larger world a bit more in the second act. Some of the dialogue and acting can get sketchy, but overall it demonstrates that there's still filmmakers who can wring fresh conceits out of the found footage genre. This is not a 10/10 movie but several reviews here seem to be going out of their way to call it a 1/10 based largely on one (admittedly tin-eared) line about gender.
