Summary: The best foreign flick ever!
Review: The first time I saw this movie I had the same feeling as after I saw the Matrix. I was confused and didn't know what I thought of it, for sure. The next couple of times I watched it, it became better and better - more and more interesting! This movie is brilliant and awe-inspiring. Even if you hate reading subtitles, you will probably enjoy this movie anyway. I'm glad I own this DVD.

Summary: Three words: empty, repetitive and boring
Review: I know all opinions are subjective but I do not undertsand what you could find interesting in this movie. The love story is stereotyped. The boyfriend is an idiot (which makes the girl an even more idiot), the soundtrack is exhausting and the plot is non existing. In this type of movie there is MUCH better which has been done. Please.....

Summary: THE TRIPPIEST MASTERPIECE I HAVE EVER SEEN!
Review: Wild, exciting, spectacular indie foreign film! Glorious cinematography, heart pouding musical score, and great performances make RUN LOLA RUN, the one to run out an buy! No, I don't think this film would've worked if it was english, but it wasn't, so who cares? Smartly made, Run Lola Run collaborates many different ways of filmmaking and creates an acid trip goulash with a heart of gold. Odd, intelligent, funky fun!

Summary: Wonderful
Review: We watch as Lola struggles to save Manni from death and fails. We're then taken back to a scene when they're in bed talking, and the scenario begins again. Each time Lola and Mani improve upon their previous mistakes. When we reach the third scenario, the music with an Indian influence, lets us know that Lola has reached some sort of insight and will finally succeed.This is a wonderfully creative film. The recurring themes, and the opening quotations are what make it so psychological. It's original, thought provoking, artistic and has great music.

Summary: Fun, slick film
Review: One of my favorite films! I love it's energy and it's just plain fun to watch. It has great replay value as I've shown it to family and friends who've all been impressed by it. You can literally sense the excitement the director must have had making this film...and it makes me want to get up and run! I like how it shows how one person, one star-crossed heartbeat can run into different lives, setting off an explosion of events and consequences. Also a tip, while viewing this DVD DO NOT watch the optional English Audio version unless you are up for a good laugh. The original German audio with English subtitles is so much better. The film evokes humor, excitment, and mabye a tear in a few scenes. A great all around film, fast-paced and exciting, don't miss it.

Summary: So Fantastic and Magical
Review: I first wanted to see this movie from reviews in the newspaper. Once I saw it, I experienced true movie bliss. It's a fast paced high adrenaline joy ride. Franka Potente shines as the gorgeous Lola, who has 20 minutes to save her boyfriend. The movie plays in actual time and unfolds beautifully. This movie is in German, but you quickly adjust to the subtitles. I could pontificate forever on the genius of this movie, but that wouldn't benefit anyone, so I won't.

Summary: action packed movie
Review: I must admit that I am the kind of person who NEVER watches foreign films. However, I was convinced by others to watch this movie... thank goodness for them. This movie, although shorter then most, manages to pack pure excitemnet into almost every second. The basic premise is that Lola has 20 minutes to get some money to save her boyfriend from his mobster boss. What unfolds is pure genius. However, it would be impossible to explain the concept without giving away any of the fun, so I will keep quiet. But I can guarentee that it is nothing like yo have ever seen before and it will keep you on the edge of your seat. The concept and the direction in which the movie goes is fairly ingenious and the combination of the soundtrack and the visuals makes for a fast paced roller coaster ride. Lola is as brilliant as her bright red hair and the turn of events will leave you shocked. Watch this movie, because I liked it so much, I wound up owning it. And trust me, if you like to go clubbing, you will love the music.

Summary: I cannot believe...
Review: I cannot believe that people would give this film 5 stars. I forced myself to watch the entire film just because I could not believe that someone would actually recommend this film. Yea it has an interesting twist, but it gets real painful after a while. If you love it, god bless...

Summary: a fun, fast paced, and different style of movie
Review: Run Lola Run is a fun, fast paced, and uniquely styled movie. The plot centers around Lola frantically trying to get money and deliver it to her boyfriend within 20 minutes. The movie repeats three such attempts, all with Lola starting at the same place, but with very different results each time -- not only for her, but for others in her wake. The plot sounds basic but is actually fast paced with lots of interesting and, after the first pass, familiar scenes with twists, how bystanders in the background are affected by her passing, etc. Imagine if today at breakfast you spilled some milk, which delayed you by 30 seconds in leaving your house, which placed you in an intersection in your car 30 seconds later, which caused you to narrowly avoid a collision... Now reset the day, don't spill the milk... What happens now? Each of the three Run Lola Run sequences is off just a little, but then you see the differences to Lola (and passers in the street) created by these subtle changes... Fascinating to watch and insightful into how much each of us can ultimately (and unknowingly) affect each others lives. The soundtrack to the movie is excellent and maintains the fast pace of the movie superbly. I liked the start of each of the three sequences when Lola starts running down the hall of her house. The camera view follows her and then spins off away from her path into the living room where her mother is sitting -- analogous to a wind vortex spinning off the edge of an airplanes wing and affecting passing bird -- sets the stage nicely for the scenes to follow. Run Lola Run is an excellent cause and effect movie. It doesn't get hung up in time travel, sci-fi, or even why this is happening. It is just a fun ride, great visuals, music, and a little food for thought along the way. The movie is best watched in the original language (German) with subtitles turned on as necessary. The subtitles were clear and easy to read at all times. Definitely worth watching.

Summary: Cult Classic: Film Rouge?
Review: "Run, Lola, Run," starring Franka Potente as the flaming redhead Lola, is guaranteed classic cult film status for years to come. Lola lights up the screen in this German film which features creative cinematography and near-perfect editing, combining cinema verité and animation. Tom Tykwer shows brilliance as the film's director; his use of close-ups of these not-perfect faces is exceptional. "Lola" is a film that one can enjoy watching over and over again, so it is a worthwhile addition to a DVD collection. As someone who primarily enjoys classical music and opera, I was thrilled by the techno-trance music of the film's soundtrack. I recommend that viewers watch this film in the German version, with the English subtitles, because it is very easy to understand the film this way and adds to its authenticity. And it only gets better. The movie is told in three segments, each with different aspects and outcomes. Overall, this is definitely one of those films that gets better each time you watch it, a totally original, undiscovered treasure.
