PRESS

CULT CRITIC REVIEW - ” The well-designed environments and the Director’s ability to capture Lola’s loneliness and isolation contributed to creating a world that doesn’t see her for who she is, in spite of Lola inhabiting it physically. “

FILM VOICE BELIFF FILM FESTIVAL 2018 - “Coming into being as a fine psychological investigation and growing into an intense emotional journey, LOLA is one of those rare films displaying a proficient understanding of the theme they tackle.”
