In this visually and conceptually impressive film, two-bit Berlin criminal Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu) delivers some smuggled loot for his boss, Ronnie (Heino Ferch), but accidentally leaves the 100,000 mark payment in a subway car. Given 20 minutes to come up with the money, he calls his girlfriend, Lola (Franka Potente), who sprints through the streets of the city to try to beg the money out of her bank manager father (Herbert Knaup) and get to Manni before he does something desperate.

What to Know

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.

Xan Brooks Independent (UK) 12/20/2024
While there's much substance behind the style, its caffeine-rush rhythm sets the blood pumping. Go to Full Review Peter Howell Toronto Star 06/21/2024
4/4
Tykwer ups the adrenalin with a fast-forward technique that gives instant backgrounders on some of the people Lola flashes by. It's dizzying, almost like having your life flash before your eyes. But it's a rush, just like the movie. Go to Full Review Zachary Barnes Wall Street Journal 06/06/2024
Though it doesn’t deliver a Shyamalanian twist or create the revelatory, encompassing new world of The Matrix, it offers spare, high-velocity action with spectacular style, ornamented with ribbons of philosophical mischief. Go to Full Review Chance Solem-Pfeifer Willamette Week Jan 22
Lola dabbles in the metaphysics and gamification of that subgenre, but with an independent spirit that tries a lot, refreshingly explains very little, and above all, feeds on the rush. Go to Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness 08/06/2024
RUN LOLA RUN is the kind of film you might see once, whether in the theater or at home, and never forget it. Go to Full Review Allison Rose FlickDirect 07/29/2024
