Film Review – Lola

Andrew Legge makes his directorial debut with “Lola,” going the extreme low-budget route to accomplish his cinematic goals, working with digital tools and frenzied camerawork to generate a look into the past, present, and future. It’s a time-travel movie in a way, and also a found-footage production, keeping viewers sufficiently disoriented as Legge (who co-scripts with Angeli Macfarlane) plays with the magic of mystery and the brutal realities of war, also endeavoring to craft a story about two sisters and their extraordinary journey with a special machine. “Lola” has limits to its imagination and execution, but the central idea is fascinating, with Legge and Macfarlane finding a fresh approach to the manipulation of time, delivering an askew take on the WWII experience and the weird crisis of trust facing special siblings.
