Ross's film is succinct and confident, and the film's force in large part stems from its no-nonsense approach. Go to Full Review

A muddled descent into psycho-sexual mind games that never fully gels. Go to Full Review

1/4
As an exercise in voyeurism, this is a movie that sleeps on its feet. Shannon is too good for this nonsense, and Poots has got to do something about that disastrous name. Go to Full Review

Although the film ultimately doesn't satisfy as either a thriller or a relationship drama, it's an interesting exploration of gender roles. Go to Full Review

Albus R Mar 17, 2019 I enjoyed this very slow paced love story. I had know Idea where this story was headed, but I liked where it ended up at. Michael Shannon & Imogen Poots are good in their respective roles. Most people probably won't like how it plays out, but I was pleasantly surprised. See more
Abraham W Sep 14, 2018 An interesting and complex relationship plot.
Abraham S Dec 11, 2017 Story about two lovers, and their rocky relationship. The story isn't very suspenseful, but the two actors, Poots and Shannon, do such a good job that they make the thing entertaining. Any other actors and this movie would be awful. See more
Han S Nov 5, 2017 Michael Shannon is worth the price of admission alone and Poots is sultry and commands the screen. Good little story shot well with a very good score. This one goes in unsuspected places. See more
Rey G Apr 27, 2017 Frank & Lola is an ambiguous love story about revenge and obsession. Michael Shannon is brilliant again as he takes on the role of Frank, a successful chef who meets Lola, played by Imogen Poots who's past plays a vital role. See more
Rey S Mar 16, 2017 Full of mysteries, twist and turns! This was Michael Shannon's show as Frank, but the plot developed mysteries surrounded by character Lola that played by Imogen Poots. Basically the entire film is about these two and after the halfway mark, another character joins them to add more suspense. Well, it was the story of a decently succeeded chef and his new girlfriend. Their relationship strengthens in a short period of time. They think they know each other enough, but one day a new secret revealed from Lola's past. That's the beginning of everything in this film, following many turns in the narration, the story reaches its end. The major issue was too much suspense. The writing should have been simplified. So not everybody easily understands the film or the purposes of film scenes/events. But it is more revenge based than psychological thriller-drama. That does not mean you can rule out everything else possibilities. Lola is the key and till the final scene she frequently diverts the story developments to give a new perspective on where the film is heading. So definitely not predictable film, particularly not the conclusion. This is exclusively for neo-noir fans. But for others it is one time watchable film. 5/10 See more
