Lola Versus

"There's not enough here to support 87 minutes. The best reason to (see it) is that Gerwig is lovable, and she's on the screen a lot."

"(Lola Versus) tries to be a "real" version of a Hollywood romantic comedy and ends up feeling more ersatz than ever."

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

"(A) less than compelling exercise in blinkered observation."

"Gerwig singlehanded carries this blithe, generally forgettable story..."

"Narratively, it's not a huge shock where the film ultimately goes, but there are a number of fun surprises along the way."

"Ostensibly smarter and more genuine than what flows from the Hollywood rom-com pipeline yet really just as shallow at heart."

"This is the kind of cutely alienated indie relationship comedy that Lena Dunham’s HBO series Girls has made irrelevant."

"A Greta Gerwig vehicle that feels like a pilot awaiting pick-up from a network that doesn't exist."

"In spite of its scruffy look and slack pacing, it often rings as false as any of the big, shiny and soft studio rom-coms... of the last decade."

"A snappy yet sincere romantic comedy..."

"Broadly appealing without bowing too deeply to formula."
