Frank & Lola is a 2016 neo-noir psychological thriller film. It stars the amazing Michael Shannon as Frank and Imogen Poots as Lola. The story follows Frank and Lola, two completely different personalities who meet and fall in love. However, as their relationship grows, secrets from their pasts begin to threaten their love. Frank (Michael Shannon) is a talented and driven chef in Las Vegas who falls madly in love with a mysterious Parisian woman named Lola (Imogen Poots). She is fourteen years younger than Frank, but this does not deter their relationship. Lola is a fashion designer who is everything Frank has ever wanted in a partner - intelligent, independent, vivacious, and mysterious. She is the only person Frank trusts, and their romance is intense and passionate.

Frank's jealousy and dark past begin to unravel their love, as he starts to question Lola's true intentions. They both had tortured pasts and secrets they try to hide. Frank's insecurities lead him to question Lola's every move, her secretive interactions with her ex-boyfriends, and her true feelings for him. His sleep is disturbed by nightmares of Lola's infidelity, and he starts acting out. His obsession with proving Lola's trustworthiness leads him down a rabbit hole of lies and deception.

Justin Long plays Keith, Lola's former lover and the source of Frank's jealousy. He is arrogant, manipulative and threatens the stability of Frank's fragile mind. He tells Frank about Lola's affairs, her secrets, and her schemes to use him for her own benefit. Frank starts to stalk Keith and dig deeper into Lola's past, revealing dark secrets that neither of them expected to unearth.

Imogen Poots delivers a performance that is mesmerizing as Lola. She is intriguingly coy and enigmatic, giving Lola an aloofness that makes the audience question whether Lola is real or a persona that she has crafted to stay hidden. Michael Shannon is remarkable as always, playing a role that is equal parts intense and vulnerable. He brings frank to life, imbuing him with a wounded masculinity that lingers in the mind.

Frank and Lola is a noirish film that tackles the themes of sexuality, jealousy, and obsession in a complex and nuanced way. Writer and director Matthew Ross have crafted a visually stunning and tightly crafted film that keeps the audience guessing at every turn. The music by Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans is haunting and evocative, perfectly capturing the tone of the film.

In conclusion, Frank and Lola is a tense, gripping neo-noir film that boasts solid performances from its cast and a strong visual aesthetic. The film takes viewers on a journey through dark emotions, complex relationships, jealousy, and obsession, all in search of one question - Can love truly conquer all?
