This film has been in preparation for five or six years, and the background of the story is set in 2002.
The heroine Lola James played by Nicola is a 19-year-old troubled girl who takes drugs, gets pregnant, and performs striptease to make a living...
Her family environment is poor and repressive, and she has to endure the verbal abuse of her alcoholic mother. , as well as the aggression of her mother's boyfriend, and she also has to take care of a younger brother who has a transvestite.
In order to help her younger brother escape from this toxic family, Lola has been working hard to make money and want to send him away as soon as possible.
Generally speaking, this is a story covered in darkness, but actually about "the perseverance of human beings and the power of blood". It is a fairly common genre film...

The cast of the film It's not luxurious, but it's OK. Lola's mother is played by the 62-year-old well-known actress Virginia Madsen (virginia
madsen). The
soundtrack was produced by Quincy Jones, a veteran producer who has won 28 Grammy Awards and produced albums for Michael Jackson.
It is worth mentioning that Quincy Jones’s daughter, 30-year-old Kenyakinski-Jones, happens to be dating Nicola’s 37-year-old brother, William Peltz (Will Peltz), and Quincy Jones will agree to participate in the production, Perhaps it is also because of this relationship...

In addition, Nicola's husband Dabu (brooklynjoseph Beckham) also made a small cameo in the film .
But you can’t see it in the main film, it was cut. The reason is the same as almost everything he has done. It is grand, but his ability is average...
Take his current favorite cooking as an example. He filmed a video of making grilled cheese sandwiches. Things are very simple, there is no need for any "tutorials".
And Dabu somehow took out a musket and baked it on the bread for a long time. In the middle shots, we could see a big hole in the crotch of his pants...
In short, it was a very disaster. The video was ruthlessly ridiculed by netizens:

This time I tried acting, but it was about the same. He always spoke with a British accent when speaking his lines, and kept staring at the camera. The traces of "acting" were too strong. In the end, Nicola had no choice but to cut out his scenes ruthlessly, and Dabu was still unhappy about this.
However, Nicola still thanked him for his efforts in other aspects: "Without him, I would not have been able to complete these tasks. He gave me great support on the set every day."

At the beginning of this year, the trailer of "Lola" was finally released online. After all, this is her directorial debut, and Nicola is very excited. However, the feedback from netizens is not very positive...
Not to mention whether the story is attractive, everyone is skeptical about "Nicola playing the role of a person at the bottom of society" Some people have doubts, thinking that as the daughter of a billionaire who grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth, how can she understand the plight of the poor?
"A billionaire's story about a girl barely making ends meet?
Nicola had no clue about it."
"It looked like she was just playing dress-up. Yes, today, I'm going to be one A teenage stripper, she is also a single mother who comes from a deformed and poor family. Is this how she has fun? There are obviously many more familiar themes and characters to choose from, but she chose one that is real to her. Isn't it strange that she is the character whose life experiences are the furthest apart?"
At the same time, some people also expressed doubts about her ability .
Although Nicola started acting at the age of 12 and has participated in blockbusters such as "Transformers 4" and "The Last Airbender", to be honest, her acting skills are not amazing, and she has never shown any screenwriting and writing skills. Director's talent. No matter how much hard work she said she had put in, the movie was only able to be released because of the help from her family.
"Her father bought her fame, but not talent."
"She can't act or be a director. Her husband can't cook, so why bother?"
Nicole responded to this La did not respond, and brought the controversy to the evening of February 3, local time. The premiere of "Lola" officially kicked off in Los Angeles...
Her relatives and friends came to the scene to support:

But the most eye-catching guest of the day had to be Nicola's mother-in-law
- "Beckissister" Victoria.
As we all know, ever since Nicola and Dabu held their wedding, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been at loggerheads over the issue of their wedding dresses. In the past two years after their marriage, they have been rumored to be at odds over various trivial matters.
(Nicola did not wear Beckham's own brand wedding dress when she got married. There are rumors that she does not like Beckham's clothes)
But at this premiere, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were extremely close, one hugging shoulders and the other shaking hands. It is worth noting that the white corset and bell-bottom pants that Nicola wore were custom-made clothing from Victoria's own brand.

Her white dress is Victoria's style at first glance, because the latter often wears something similar:

She loves white suits and calls herself a "hot girl" The period began:

This time, the fashion tastes of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were rarely unified.
Nicola also specifically mentioned: "I am very excited to wear clothes from the Victoria Beckham brand on this night that means so much to me. Victoria is a genius and it was great to work with her to create this beautiful set. The look feels very special."
Victoria also posted on Instagram, saying she was "extremely proud" of Nicola's movie. Both parties expressed goodwill at the same time. Are they not planning to be plastic mother-in-law and daughter-in-law anymore?

Later, the media discovered that Victoria’s style seemed to be influencing Nicola . Before, she had blond hair and liked to wear brightly colored skirts, but now she has changed to brown Hair and dressing are more mature and capable.

You can often see the shadow of her mother-in-law when she was young:

The two of them also appeared in the same outfit, such as a baseball cap and a vest:

It seems that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is indeed getting closer, maybe it is not just an act.
Taking this premiere as an opportunity, maybe there will be more fashion cooperation in the future. Dabu, who has been stuck in the middle all year round, can finally breathe a sigh of relief...
can return to the movie, "Lola" The results are average.
's current imdb score is only 4.2, and only a dozen people have participated in the review. It should be a sure bet...
(imdb score)
is also expected. I just wonder if Nicola will give up on her dream of being a director, or will she be like Dabu in cooking, the less good she is, the more she has to prove that she is not good enough...
