Review of Lolo

Lolo (2015)
3/10
Excruciatingly cliched script but terrific acting.

Warning: Spoilers
Every cliche about Parisian bobos is on full display here. I didn't find any of it funny, just mean-spirited, to use another reviewer's word.

And every cliche about spoiled young psychos attachment to maman's boobies is here too.

What really ruins it is the happy ending, hardly credible after what has come before.

Kudos to Vincent Lacoste who is so lubriciously sleazy here that he is typecast in my brain forever.

Watching Julie Delpy's vacillations is an agonizing experience but she does do a very good job with the schizophrenic changes required. It's just that when she wises up, we really don't believe her.

Would have been nice if Dany had just pushed the baby out of the window & ended it all right there.

Two stars because I did keep watching.

Maybe I should give three, though, for the caricature of the Parisian "art world..." Hmmmm Yes, three, but not for comedy...
