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.

I haven't read the book, and I feel like my review would probably change if I had. But my takeaway from this rewatch of Lolita is just how incredibly funny it is throughout, especially in the first half. Mason and Winters are wonderfully awkward and Lyon gives a beautiful (and unnervingly) mature performance. Then there's Peter Sellers, who steals the picture in every scene he's in. All that said, I'm not quite sure what the point of it all was, and the movie never feels like it justifies its existence. The second half sort of fizzles out and culminates in a pretty odd ending--and I'm definitely not sure what was going on with the Quilty subplot. I suspect the adaptation process was a difficult one, and it certainly comes through in the final product.

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
