Review of Lola Versus (2012) by Craig T — 26 Apr 2014

This movie angered me for reasons that are somewhat difficult to put my finger on. Perhaps it has something to do with the main character's poor choices; the supporting character's poor behaviors; the editor's poor structuring; or, the too-cute approach to an all-too-familiar generational malaise that continues to be treated as cute even by those suffering at its hands the most.

Or, you know, maybe all of those things. Gerwig emerges unscathed as a great talent, but the movie hurt my soul.
