Lola Versus is a romantic comedy directed by Daryl Wein and stars Greta Gerwig in the lead role. The film explores the theme of love and relationships in the modern age. The movie is set in New York City, and Lola is a graduate student who is writing her thesis on silence in politics. She is engaged to her longtime boyfriend Luke, who is a successful artist. Lola is looking forward to getting married and starting a new life with Luke, but her dreams are shattered when Luke suddenly dumps her three weeks before their wedding.
Lola is devastated by the breakup and finds it hard to move on. She seeks comfort from her friends Alice and Henry, who are also going through their own relationship issues. Alice is married with a child and is feeling stifled, while Henry is a hopeless romantic struggling to find true love. Lola's mother, Robin, also provides support and a listening ear for Lola as she navigates the ups and downs of the dating world.
As Lola tries to move on from Luke, she starts dating again, but each relationship ends in disaster. First, she dates a much younger man named Nick, who is immature and not ready for a serious commitment. Next, she dates a man named Henry, who is a workaholic and also not interested in a serious relationship. Finally, Lola meets a man named Will, who seems perfect, but he is already in a committed relationship and cannot leave his partner.
Throughout the movie, Lola struggles with her identity, as she tries to find her place in the world. She questions her career choices, her relationships, and even her appearance. In the end, Lola realizes that she needs to take control of her life and make the difficult decisions that will lead her to happiness on her own terms.
