Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Watch Lola Montes and you may never watch a movie the same way again.
Lola Montes is mainly a triumph of vibrancy and metaphor. Nonetheless it's quite an experience.
Seen on a big screen, this is a movie to get drunk on.
Max Ophuls' 1955 masterpiece gets a superb restoration.
