Film Review: Lola and the Sea shies away from black-and-white emotions

"It isn’t particularly inventive in terms of its plot – but it’s very good at teasing out the nuances of their fractious relationship"

Mya Bollaers in Lola and the Sea

★★★★☆ 

Lola and the Sea (12A) opens with 18-year-old Lola (Mya Bollaers) missing her mother’s funeral because her father, Philippe (Benoît Magimel), deliberately told her the wrong time for the ceremony.
