Tribeca Spotlight: Lola Versus

 

Film: Lola Versus

  

TFF Synopsis: Indie ingénue Greta Gerwig stars as Lola, a New Yorker on the verge of 30 who finds herself abruptly dumped mere weeks before her long-anticipated wedding. Single for the first time in eight years, Lola attempts to rebuild with the help of her friends, sweet and supportive Henry (Hamish Linklater) and no-nonsense chatterbox Alice (co-screenwriter Zoe Lister-Jones), only to find that suddenly navigating the unfriendly waters of dating and relationships makes letting go and moving on much more easily said than done. 

I found out about this film through a fan of Swedish actor Joel Kinnaman who has made a mini US debut in the AMC original drama The Killing (and he was a past Spotlight of the Day.) The trailer looks cute. In my world "cute" can go  2 ways-- really good or horribly bad. I have found that I tend to enjoy this kind Eat, Pray, Love, woman finding herself with the help of quirky friends and accompanied by an indie soundtrack. I will def. try to catch this.
