A thrilling post-MTV, roller-coaster ride, Run Lola Run is the internationally acclaimed sensation about two star-crossed lovers who have only minutes to change the course of their lives. Time is running out for Lola (Franka Potente). She's just received a frantic phone call from her boyfriend, Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu), who's lost a small fortune belonging to his mobster boss. If Lola doesn't replace the money in twenty minutes, Manni will surely suffer severe consequences. Set to a throbbing techno score, "Lola's like a human stun gun!" Peter Rainer, New York Magazine.

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.

Reviews

Film Frenzy

Matt Brunson

“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.

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.

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.

An exercise in sensory overload.

...an above-average thriller that’s more (much more) than its admittedly eye-catching gimmick.
