LOLA (2022) 03/23/24

It’s an ‘alternate future’ time warp tale of the kind that seldom works … but this is an exception. Andrew Legge’s modest found-footage movie serves up a rich dose of sci-fi ideas. What would you do if you could listen in on radio and TV signals from the future?  In 1940, two women use their ‘impossible’ information to thwart Germany’s bombing of England, but inadvertently set into motion unforseen time-twist problems. The way the story is told may not appeal, but it does hang together as an unusually imaginative, refreshingly rewarding time-paradox tale. Starring Emma Appleton and Stefanie Martini. On Blu-ray from Severin Films.
