Lola (2024)
A nepo baby's effort to show the world she knows nothing about almost everything
This movie tries to be serious but is clearly an attempt to portray characters and conditions about which the writer/director/lead actor is dismally unfamiliar.
The story itself is trite and cliche. The "writer" clearly doesn't have a clue about the real world of the subjects of this movie. Maybe she's done some surface research but nothing contemporary or in depth and clearly has never interacted with (or even met) the people about which she writes.
The acting is wooden/artificial and and it would be high praise to call this directing effort incompetent.
My only "kind" word is that Virginia Madsen used to be a pretty good actress. She must be desperate to have agreed to be in this dismal pic.
My Dinner with Hervé (2018)
Couldn't understand most of it
I grew up with Fantasy Island and thought Herve Villechaize was a gimmick who couldn't speak understandable English. This movie is more of the same only worse. Peter Dinklage mimicked HV's speech so well that he, too, isn't understandable. There's no physical resemblance, the main character is mostly unsympathetic and I couldn't watch it for more than the first 20 minutes.
