Lola Versus

2012 • 86 minutes

About this movie

Greta Gerwig sparkles in this offbeat romantic comedy about looking for answers - and finding yourself - in a complicated world. When 29-year-old Lola (Greta Gerwig) is dumped by her Luke (Joel Kinnaman) just three weeks before the wedding, she embarks on an emotional, year-long adventure of self-discovery filled with love, loss, hilarity and heartache. Guided (and often misguided) by the well-meaning advice of her close friends and eccentric parents, Lola's chaotic journey en route to the big 3-0 proves that a single tumultuous year can yield the lessons of a lifetime.

Ratings and reviews

Watched this on a transatlantic flight and was surprised how much I liked it. It has some cool and very funny, witty lines. It would probably be somewhat moving for someone in a recent breakup. Not sappy at all. Zoe Lister-Jones, as her best friend, almost steals it

Musical Penis. When the music stops, someone lands on another penis. Except...there's never 1 less penis. Everybody wins! ..... : /

I loved this movie. Very funny, and I like the fact that she did not have to end up with a guy in order to be happy like most romantic comedies end. It's as though they are sending a message that a woman cannot feel complete unless she is in a relationship. In this movie a young woman learned to love and accept herself, which is a VERY difficult thing for most females to do.
