Perhaps Delpy and Boon are so popular in France that audiences will go to see them in an improbable rom-com with a tired premise; but even if you are a fan, you won't enjoy them in this movie.March 24, 2016
Lolo is fun and fresh to look at: Violette's habitat is fashion-world, Centre-Pompidou new Paris, blessedly free of the Louvre-and-Seine shorthand that sells French movies to American audiences.March 24, 2016
Delpy's portrayal - high-strung, neurotic, prone to mild hysterics - is so reminiscent of some of the actress's previous roles that it's hard to forget that you're watching Delpy, not Violette.June 02, 2016
Lolo happily takes the rom-com road less travelled, the one marked "Danger."March 11, 2016
For all of its non-commonplace perspectives, the movie finally feels a bit thin.June 02, 2016
The scattershot humour leads to an inconsistent tone, and a bit of confusion for the audience.June 02, 2016
It's shocking to see Delpy come up with a comedy as amateurishly awful as Lolo.September 09, 2016
An interesting and particular dark comedy with a very sharp humor. [Full review in Spanish]November 15, 2016
Julie Delpy, who co-wrote the script with Eugenie Grandval, directs with the minimum of fuss, keeping the farce fast and funny.May 25, 2016
Delpy offers full and troubling rein with the complications of her light-to-dark comedy, with a son who can turn from sunshine to sonofab----on a centime.March 31, 2016
I appreciated the effort Delpy, directing her sixth feature, puts forth in trying to spice up the genre. But that doesn't mean I enjoyed it.March 10, 2016
As a character, Lolo is a conceit of indulgent parenting and never fully blooms.
