Review of And Then Came Lola (2009) by Alex T — 03 Oct 2010
I saw this in a film festival last summer then ordered the Blu-ray from Amazon. Well worth watching these lovely ladies in HD. They hold up very well. Ashleigh Sumner was kick-ass as LOLA. She ran, and jumped, and charmed her way through the streets of San Francisco in a desperate quest to reach her girlfriend.
The references to the German film Run, Lola, Run are obvious.....but this version is a much lighter affair that focuses mostly on lesbian relations (past and present) and what is the meaning of commitment.
Lesbian angst is explored via the incestuous connections of past and present that are standard fare. There some clever use of still photos and animation which add to the over-the-top tone. It serves this lively romp quite well and I was pleased to see some sexy scenes among real lesbians.
I also appreciate that at the film's end, I'm left with a big old grin on my face.
