Lola Peploe

Lola Peploe’s filmography? Oh, it’s a bit of a wild ride, honestly. She doesn’t just pop up in random stuff—her choices are kinda all over the map, but in the best way. You catch her in The Dreamers (2003), where she’s tangled up in that trippy Parisian whirlwind, all art and rebellion and, let’s be real, some seriously questionable decision-making. The film is like a fever dream of cinema obsession, drenched in politics and youthful stupidity, and Lola fits right in with that cast of reckless characters just chasing after meaning or maybe just running from boredom. Then, fast forward to The Queen (2006). Whole different vibe. Now we’re in the stiff-collared world of British royalty, where everything’s about decorum and hidden glances and what’s NOT being said. Lola might not be the one in the crown, but she’s right there in the mix, adding subtlety and bite to the ensemble. That movie’s got Helen Mirren doing her thing, stoic and sharp, and it’s like everyone around her has to keep up. Lola slides into that universe with this cool restraint—blink and you’ll miss the layers she adds, but they’re there, trust. Skip to 2023, and she’s in Grandmother’s Footsteps. The name alone tells you it’s gonna be about family, ghosts (real or emotional), and maybe a few skeletons rattling in the closet. Lola brings this lived-in quality, like she’s seen stuff and is over pretending otherwise. It’s not flashy, but it’s honest, and sometimes that’s way more interesting than the big dramatic stuff. Her career’s kind of a low-key masterclass in picking roles that actually mean something—or at least make you stop and think for a second.
