Los Angeles Times | Kenneth TuranAdd Critic to Favorites

As essential in its own way as Anton Karas' celebrated zither work was to "The Third Man," Lola's music is perfectly suited to the film's aims and just about addictive in its throbbing, insinuating rhythms.Read the full review

Washington Post | Desson ThomsonAdd Critic to Favorites

Fabulously kinetic.Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Owen GleibermanAdd Critic to Favorites

An existential chain reaction, yet as remarkable as his cinematic gamesmanship is the way that he traces the anatomy of feeling in Lola.Read the full review

Variety | David RooneyAdd Critic to Favorites

A highly accomplished, compact feature, which, while it may be light on depth, is rich in humor, rhythm, energy and inventiveness.Read the full review

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

Has as much depth as it has energy and action.Read the full review

The New York Times | Elvis MitchellAdd Critic to Favorites

Tykwer deliberately blows away all traces of the mundane and the familiar, so that not even the closing credit crawl moves in the expected way.Read the full review

Slate | David EdelsteinAdd Critic to Favorites

San Francisco Chronicle | Peter StackAdd Critic to Favorites

The action is so fast that the viewer almost breaks out in a sweat...Ultimately vapid. Lola never does develop as a character, and the fuss seems ultimately pointless.Read the full review

Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

I would not want to see a sequel to the film, and at 81 minutes it isn't a second too short, but what it does, it does cheerfully, with great energy, and very well.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Joshua KleinAdd Critic to Favorites

May be all Eurotrash flash, but it's not often that a film packs this much visceral punch.Read the full review
