hyped garbage
Good concept, poorly executed.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
I was saw the film at the San Sebastian film festival. I was not totally sure what to expect, but the resume looked interesting. Up to some extend it was; the acting is good and so is the camera-work. However, the story itself was disappointing. It has a bit of 'as good as it gets' and a bit of 'Habla con ella'. But then slower. The film is a French-Spanish production and most of the dialog is in French. 'Lo que se de Lola' - in English 'What I know about Lola' - is about a lonely guy, living an uneventful life in Paris. He takes care of his mother. One day, a girl with a more exciting life moves in his apartment building...
