Alexis W Coming from the lens of Humbert being a unreliable narrator, and Nabokov's original source material, this movie is very...conflicting. I feel like they certainly could of shown more of Dolores slipping through Humbert's unreliability. The true Dolores, what she was going through and the trauma she was living through. Dolores's character is hollow because of the perspective of the film, which does ring true to the book Lolita. But I feel like they could of added in more. The ending is heartbreaking, this film is worth a watch and isn't bad. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review Shioka O It's worth watching to see two leads performance even though it doesn't beyond the classic by Kubrick. Voice-over by Jeremy Irons always wins. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/25/24 Full Review VICTORIA A What a sad story for Dolores. It’s hauntingly sad. Really amazing performances by all. Really wish I hadn’t watched it because it’s so disturbing and heartbreaking. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/27/24 Full Review Jason Such an amazing performance by both leads. It always baffles me why Swain didn't excel after this film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/22/23 Full Review Leaburn O Having just finished the book, the film became required viewing. It's impossible to match the book on film but the editor did a good job and told the story relatively faithfully. It has a very different feel to the book but it's an interesting interpretation. Bought on DVD some time ago but I was awaiting completion of the book before I watched. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/23/23 Full Review Bodhi R Not the masterpiece that is the novel, but a compelling film that makes you want to watch to the end. They have reduced the creepiness and brilliance of Humbert, and they have increased the maturity and attractiveness of little Lo, and thereby they have made the film more palatable for the average moviegoer. But this does tweak what is a masterpiece and therefore borders on sacrilege. You can draw your own conclusions. I thoroughly enjoyed the sets and the costumes (it really feels like the era), but I didn't enjoy the chaotic ending or the casting of Irons as Humbert; had the actor playing Quilty been cast in the role, I dare say the quality of the film may have increased tenfold.
