It's a political fairy tale about duplicity and hypocrisy in which everything, including ethics and human flesh, is for sale, and self-esteem and worth is measured only in terms of money.

It's wonderfully provocative as only Fassbinder can be.
08/21/06
Again Fassbinder returns to Germany's past to reveal the workings of its stagnant moral present to powerful effect, boldly combining melodramatic storytelling, vibrant performances, garish visuals and searching analysis.
03/30/04
Lola is a well-acted film which showcases Rainer Werner Fassbinder's laser-sharp social consciousness.
02/04/04
A bitter, brisk, sometimes abruptly moving satire about the West German economic 'miracle' of the 50's.

Top Critic[An] interesting and rewarding experience for those who can appreciate German cinema and great directors at work.
