Stanley Kubrick's Lolita wasn't Lolita. Not even close.
NOTHING can ever truly be like the book, but this is a good film. Dominique Swain plays Lolita perfectly, portraying the adolescent girl between childish but kinky complexity that is Lolita. Jeremy Irons is great too, but he is not fully Humbert. He portrays him a bit more mildly. However, this book is almost impossible to adapt.
There will never be a Lolita like Nabokov. Still, great acting and a fine script. Thank you, Adrian.
