LOLA VERSUS puts the fun in dysfunctional love and is what happens when you shake life up a little bit and let it fall out of your hands.
Overview
Just three weeks before her wedding, Lola's longtime fiance, Luke, dumps her. With her 30th birthday looming and being forced to re-enter the New York City dating scene, she feels adrift in a cold world. She leans on her friends for support but, after a series of romantic humiliations, professional blunders and boozy antics, Lola realizes that she alone is in charge of her fate.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
It's such a mopey, navel-gazing affair that even Gerwig has a hard time saving it.
An extremely smart, exquisitely funny film about finding yourself amid the clang and clutter of contemporary life.
Lola Versus is all Greta all the time, a bonanza for fans and proof that Gerwig's easy offbeat charm, obvious smarts and physical comedy gifts can carry a film.
There's a Fitzgeraldian sense of generational malaise in all of this, but "Lola Versus" is convinced that it's hilarious.
