A much older film than I?d first realised, interesting story, I?m sure very controversial in it?s day ? as seems to be Kubrick?s taste.
The ending was quite unusual for it?s time I felt, good, but more of an unfinished style which I relate more to a modern style of storytellin...( read more)
Lolita is visually beautiful as you'd expect from Kubrick but unfortunately it's also unnecessarily long in my opinion. There are great performances from Mason and Winters and a hint of whats to come in Kubrick's next film from Sellers.

Lolita is a good character study. Mason and Lyon played their roles equally well. However, I'm not a fan of the film's length. There's nothing wrong with long movies, but this one didn't work. And I don't understand why it's such a touchy movie with some people. It's only a movie...( read more)
