It's wonderfully provocative as only Fassbinder can be.

Reviews for Lola
[An] interesting and rewarding experience for those who can appreciate German cinema and great directors at work.
Lola is a well-acted film which showcases Rainer Werner Fassbinder's laser-sharp social consciousness.
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.
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.
A bitter, brisk, sometimes abruptly moving satire about the West German economic 'miracle' of the 50's.
