Leave your thoughts about Run Lola Run.
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranAs essential in its own way as Anton Karas' celebrated zither work was to "The Third Man," Lola's music is perfectly suited to the film's aims and just about addictive in its throbbing, insinuating rhythms. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaAs exciting and suspenseful an action film as one is likely to see. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatFor writer and director Tykwer, the meaning of life is strongly colored by small incidents of coincidence. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezRun Lola Run could very well be the punchiest piece of concept art to ever hit the silver screen, a shock-dose of German existential cinema you can ride. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonRun Lola Run takes a few moments to muse about the nature of time and the purpose of man... But its real agenda is the purpose of woman. |
| Film ThreatChris GoreI can't rave about this film enough -- this is passionate filmmaking at its best. One of the best foreign films, heck, one of the best films I have seen this year -- go see it! |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanAn existential chain reaction, yet as remarkable as his cinematic gamesmanship is the way that he traces the anatomy of feeling in Lola. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittTykwer's style gives the movie an explosive energy that never quits, marking him as the most ingenious new talent to hail from Germany in ages. |
| Jam! MoviesBruce KirklandIt's exhilarating. It's provocative. It's sexy. It's cinema. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Peter RainerA movie that really zips along; it offers some of the same pleasures as the silent slapstick comedies, particularly the Keaton films, with their sense of how sheer velocity carries its own wit. |
