Reviews
|
ReelViews -
Gerwig transforms the ordinary screenplay into something that is by turns charming, touching, and funny.
|
|
Variety -
It's one girl against the world in Lola Versus, a snappy yet sincere romantic comedy that begins where others end, with the proposal and wedding plans pointing toward happily ever after.

|
IndieWire -
Gerwig singlehanded carries this blithe, generally forgettable story.
|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
Gerwig is adorable, but that's both good and bad, as the movie can't stop cuing us to see that Lola's winsomeness will rescue her.

The Hollywood Reporter -
Convincing in its depiction of late-20s romantic anxiety (if not of that age bracket's real estate realities), it is broadly appealing without bowing too deeply to formula.
