The director (Antoine Allen) needed a much stronger hand with his actors.

Lola is worth seeing if you enjoy boxing and tales of people overcoming difficult obstacles. It has mostly wonderful performances and great cinematography on behalf of Christopher Fox.

Rated: 7/10

An uplifting film! Please keep in mind that this film is working with a very low budget but it still manages to showcase a strong story that is both uplifting and gritty. Yes, there is boxing in the film but the story is not really about the sport of Boxing. Instead our story focuses on the rise of Lola who goes through a traumatizing experience at a party where she is sexually assaulted. Lola then takes up self defense training with partaking in Boxing and finds out she is pretty good. Lola then goes through a transformation process with becoming stronger and overcoming what she has gone through. I thought the performances were all really good with the script here. Where things start to take a turn for the worse is the boxing choreography is pretty bad and unbelievable. Everything else leading up to the boxing scenes is very good. Lola gets a solid 2 1/2 stars out of 5 from me.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
