It's not a bad film, but some of it looks a bit dated. There were a few shots that I would've actually cut in embarrassment if I'd been the director.
I think it's always going to be tough making a film version of such an incredible book, and the film toes the line awkwardly between sexualising Lolita, and showing how young and immature she is. I can see how this might have caused some controversy when released, but I would say that this film can only be understood fully by reading the book, which I think depicts one of the greatest unreliable narrators in the history of literature.
Nevertheless, worth a watch. 8/10
