A good premise that has been done better, Lola Rennt suffers from the execution of the material. As many movies over the years have gotten criticism for 'MTV style cuts and glitz', I was suprised that this film didn't suffer the same fate since the camera and editing style in Lola becomes distracting. Very little characterization leads to viewer apathy, and whenever the filmmakers try to inject witty situations/dialogue into the mix it fails miserably. An example would be Lola's shrill cry that effects a situation's outcome; it isn't funny, witty, or pertinent to the story -- it's just plain annoying. Lola Rennt could have been a good exercise in film but, as it is with the 'hip' visuals and lack of vision, it becomes barely serviceable to film fans.
