“It is breathtaking in its epic scale, magnificent in its comprehension of landscape, piercingly uncomfortable in its human intimacy and severity.” 5/5 – The Guardian
“A sharp, dryly funny, at times cruel exploration of human arrogance and frailty” – The New York Times
“visually striking and emotionally austere” – Variety
“The sparkling chemistry between [the] two leads and the ramshackle setting add to a pleasantly unmoored register” 4/5 – The Irish Independent
“This is one of the most distinctive and stylish looking films you’ll see this year, full of retro futurism, recalling the films of Fritz Lang” 4/5 – RTE
“With elegance and a healthy dose of humour, LOLA pays tribute to film, to moving images as a repository of worlds in the making which materialise as if by magic right before our eyes.” – Cineuropa
“What a strange confection White is – an opera of male agony and outrageously implausible picaresque adventure.” 5/5 – The Guardian
“Loosely structured as a picaresque romantic odyssey with flashes of black comedy and glum pathos” 4/5 – Empire
“A fine lead perf from Zbigniew Zamachowski anchors an ingenious rags-to-riches tale of revenge filtered through abiding love.” – Variety
