The film received mostly poor reviews. The Guardian states that "Lola, whose protagonist careens from one traumatic experience to the next, doesn’t explore hardship – it exploits it" [5] . Writing for Review Online, Ayeen Forootan states that "there’s nothing really surprising or new to be found in Lola’s poorly scripted and stereotypically melodramatic story, which is mostly realized as typical arrangements of manufactured intensity and overt sentiment-baiting."
