If not for a killer soundtrack, this movie would be a complete bomb. Kasey Chambers"Am I Not Pretty Enough" is perfect in one of the movie's creepiest scenes. Aside from that, there is nothing you haven't seen before and better. Where the movie truly fails, is with the too many to count plot holes, it's ignoring of technology and a much too big budget look. If the exact same movie had been made a little grainier, with stars who weren't gorgeous and with a little more attention to detail, it could have been better. The movie even drops the ball in the perfectly set up final scene. Oh and anyone comparing Lola to Asami Yamazaki in Audition should have their head examined.
This was a post I wrote on Facebook after surprisingly not seeing any moaning about the Documentary by Jose Antonio Vargas, titled White People Dayyum!

I unfortunately haven't seen it, but the number of fake accounts that popped up on twitter, tells me it was a damn good show. Here's the thing.

Somewhere out there, there are 100 Black, Spanish, Native American, Arab, Asian, who worked and studied as hard as you and never got in trouble, but they don't have what you "earned" or achieved. Stop looking at the one person you know who isn't white that achieved as your benchmark. Loo...
