Critics Consensus

More fun than a barrel of Jean-Paul Sartre, pic's energy riffs on an engaging love story and really human performances while offering a series of what-ifs and a blood-stirring soundtrack.

Frenetic pace, astonishing editing, heart pounding music.... Original 90's film, that nowadays, I can't help it, but it feels A LOT like a 90's film....

It's just a music video all the way through, which is exactly what I didn't know I needed.

Overrated indie-European cat and mouse type sci-fi chase movie...Watchable, but doesn't live up to it's stellar reputation.

Definitely a fun premise but one that gets more frustrating the more you think about it so I'd advise that one simply enjoy the movie's surface level pleasures and don't overthink it.

Lola rewinds and replays a desperate mission to save her boyfriend, each loop a kaleidoscope of chance. Repetitive? Maybe. But the film's a puzzle, a challenges and breathlessly entertains.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Still one of my favorites, certainly the best "Butterfly Effect" movie.

Slant Magazine

Run Lola Run could very well be the punchiest piece of concept art to ever hit the silver screen, a shock-dose of German existential cinema you can ride.

Film Frenzy

“Running time” takes on more than one meaning when it comes to this compact thriller for which Franka Potente probably wishes she could have been paid by the kilometer.

Rated: 3/4

Rob's Movie Vault

You’re never bored with seeing the movie start up again, because you want to see how it unfolds this time, what minuscule events will send it spinning off the tracks.

Gone With The Twins

Pure avant-garde filmmaking, wholly succeeding at presenting innovative editing techniques to lure the audience into a plot as nonlinear and sporadic as they come.
