This is a really messed up story. It's a little too long and the timeline can be a little confusing at one point. Sue Lyon is really good and I'm shocked to find out she was only 14 when they filmed this. James Mason is great too. I liked the music in this a lot.

I've never felt so tired after watching a movie. It's way too long for a film like this and definitely drags at the end. It was cool to see Peter Sellers make an appearance and he did a great job as always. As for the other performances, they're average. Some conversations felt borderline creepy but I think that's what Kubrick wanted the audience to think because James Mason's character is a really messed up person. I found the first half of the film to be creepy but somewhat comedic in some scenes. And it really works. The second half definitely dips in quality as I already wanted it to be over. The length is my only real complaint. I can handle long movies, but this one simply didn't need to be long.

Before I saw this movie for the first time, I assumed it would be a very dark drama about some pretty messed up shit. Instead, it is a very hilarious drama about some pretty messed up shit. The fact that they couldn't be blatant about their jokes makes them even funnier. I probably didn't ca More

I put off watching Kubrick's _Lolita_ for a long time, because the 1997 version is one of my favorite movies, and I was sure an adaptation from 1962 could never measure up, and I was right. I've also read the novel, but that was ages ago.
So, Lolita is one of the most notorious books ever written, More
