	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"What it does, it does cheerfully, with great energy, and very well (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"A furiously kinetic display of pyrotechnics (...) Tykwer does this with a vigor and pizazz that offset the essentially empty nature of the exercise"	POS
United States	David Rooney Variety	"While it may be light on depth, is rich in humor, rhythm, energy and inventiveness."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Tykwer's direction shows his habitual delirious fluency (...) But it looks like a pop video rather than a movie, and there is something contrived"	NEU
United States	Danny Lorber IndieWire	"Its clever, wholly unique narrative concept instantly makes it one of the more original, unpretentious European films seen on these shores in years."	POS
United States	Ed Gonzalez Slant	"'Run Lola Run' could very well be the punchiest piece of concept art to ever hit the silver screen (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Stephen Hunter The Washington Post	"The movie is extremely clever, if overproduced (...) Sublimely seductive. It's fun. Hey, it's neat. But it's also simple-minded and squalid"	NEU
United States	Joshua Klein AV Club	"[It] may be all Eurotrash flash, but it's not often that a film packs this much visceral punch"	POS
