A brooding Las Vegas gourmet chef (Michael Shannon) eyeing a prestigious Parisian gig begins a turbulent relationship with a damaged, woman (Imogen Poots) and finds himself confronting her dark and checkered past. Frank and Lola is inconsistent and erratic, dabbling in over half a dozen genres and changing gears every chance it gets, and never really letting its stars settle into their roles and the unnecessarily uncomfortable material.
