Nicola Peltz 's directorial debut Lola has been torn apart from critics and viewers alike, who have labelled the film nothing more than a 'vanity project' Writing for In Review Online, Ayeen Forootan said: 'There’s nothing really surprising or new to be found in Lola’s poorly scripted and stereotypically melodramatic story, which is mostly realized as typical arrangements of manufactured intensity and overt sentiment-baiting'.
But he went on: 'It’s not a law that directors making slice-of-life flicks must be personally familiar with the material they are depicting, but before even watching Lola, the disconnect between the dead-end world the film takes place in and Peltz Beckham’s background stands out as jarring. But critics have blasted the film as 'a glorified commercial' for Nicola, and accused the movie of being 'poverty porn', meaning the exploitation of poverty for entertainment and artistic recognition
While many others slamming her 'dead-eyed' acting, taking issue with her consistently 'staring off into space with perfect makeup', as another lamented: 'I felt like the whole movie was based around her looking pretty and giving her flattering close ups'. Speaking to WWD in February, Nicola responded to the backlash she received for casting herself as a struggling, drug-addicted teenage stripper, while living a life of almost unimaginable privilege
Nicola previously revealed the film had been six year in the making, saying: 'I wrote it when I was 23, and it’s been such a labor of love. I’ve put my heart and soul into it'.'If a nepo baby makes a laughably oblique film portraying what she must imagine to be the strife of the impoverished class, but hardly anyone watches it, will it hurt her career?'
