Even the most extreme punishments are softened by hilariously neurotic dialogue. Vive la Delpy!

By Sara Stewart FULL REVIEW

Sep 19, 2015

Lolo features long stretches of perhaps her most accomplished and enjoyable character-comedy yet. But as often with filmmakers for whom a certain register comes almost too easily, Delpy seems impatient with herself and her facility for spiky, verbal sparring and pithy self-deprecating put-downs.

By Jessica Kiang FULL REVIEW

Mar 7, 2016

A curiously unsentimental director of romantic comedies, Julie Delpy sees romance for the work that it primarily is.

By Chuck Bowen FULL REVIEW

Mar 9, 2016

The film is at its best when its central trio fumbles around the same circle of hell they’ve obliviously created for themselves, making the best of a situation that is much worse than they could ever imagine.

Mar 8, 2016

Lolo is entirely too familiar, too predictable, a character study in romantic mishaps that’s far less interesting than the name Delpy cooked up for her “little alpine bunny,” a passive, pretty creature worthy of our contempt, at least as Wells envisioned him.

By Roger Moore FULL REVIEW

Sep 19, 2015

Julie Delpy’s latest directorial effort juggles some potentially delicious ideas, but Lolo proves to be an exasperating romantic comedy that flirts with darker terrain it never has the guts or wit to really explore.

By Tim Grierson FULL REVIEW

This romp is just embarrassing.
