Olla is a 2019 French short film written and directed by Ariane Labed, her directorial debut.[1]
It follows Olla, a woman from Eastern Europe, who responds to an advertisement on a dating site. She then moves in with Pierre, who lives with his elderly mother in a suburb of France.[2]
Olla received critical acclaim. Kennith Rosario of The Hindu appreciated the film for depicting the power play in an unusual relationship.[4] In his review for The Guardian, Phill Hoad writes about Labed's humorous inflections devolve into frenzy and violence in a controlled manner that bodes well for whatever full-length work she may have in the works.[5]
