Lola Versus What?
I had wanted to see this in the theater since I'm a Greta Gerwig fan,but it vanished before I had the chance to see it.
When "Lola Versus" was released on DVD, I ordered it through Netflix. The film wasn't that good. I didn't understand what the film was trying to say. Gerwig also played a character who is cheated on in Whit Stillman's "Damsels in Distress" (2010), which was a far superior film.
In recent weeks, the HBO channels have been airing "Lola Versus."
I am still trying to figure out why it's called "Lola Versus." The film poster and trailer portray her "versus" sex, love, and the world. She is not fighting or rebelling against these things during a down period in her life. They may cause her pain and stress as she is about to exit her 20s, but "versus" seems like the wrong word.
Of course, if the film had a different title, it still wouldn't have made it a better film.
