Run Lola Run
Rent/Purchase
Lola receives a phone call from her boyfriend Manni. He lost 100,000 DM in a subway train that belongs to a very bad guy. She has 20 minutes to raise this amount and meet Manni. Otherwise, he will rob a store to get the money. Three different alternatives may happen depending on some minor event along Lola's run.
What critics thought
Tom Tykwer's kinetic thriller earned strong notices for its propulsive energy, inventive structure, and the way it plays its time-loop premise as both philosophical game and genuine love story. Critics broadly embraced it, though the most pointed debate was over depth versus surface: whether its relentless momentum left anything to chew on afterward, or whether that momentum was the point.
“I 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”
Chris Gore·Film Threat
“About as entertaining as a no-brainer can be—a lot more fun, for my money, than a cornball theme-park ride like Speed, and every bit as fast moving. But don't expect much of an aftertaste.”
Jonathan Rosenbaum·Chicago Reader
