Review

Inspired by the modern German classic Run, Lola, Run, this brilliant story is told in three different scenarios where sexy, commitment-phobic photographer Lola (Ashleigh Sumner) bounces around like a pinball through San Francisco, transporting important designs for her drop-dead gorgeous lover Casey (Jill Bennett, Dante’s Cove), who is a marketing executive on the verge of landing a big advertising campaign through her seductive ex-girlfriend Danielle (Cathy DeBuono, Out at the Wedding). But relying on Lola — who is easily distracted — is increasingly difficult: Lola not only has a hard time arriving to appointments on time she has also had difficulty committing to a woman. There’s something about Casey, though, that drives this artist crazy, and this job is vital to the future of the relationship.

Off and running, Lola dodges (multiple times) a meter maid, an unstable woman with a big dog, and her own ex (Jessica Graham.) Directors Megan Siler and Ellen Seidler have brilliantly crafted a engrossing feature complete with beautiful cinematography, animation, still photography, and high-energy soundtrack -- all while highlighting the fun yet volatility of dyke culture. Tick tock, don't be late or you'll miss one hell of a ride.
