Lolita is pretty weird like all Kubrick's movies. All in all, you get absorbed into the strange story of Humbet's life. It's funny to some extant and it's a real pleasure to watch Sellers being so mean but so damn awesome in his role. It'a also a bit different from Nabokov's vision but it's also another perfect example why we love Kubrick so much.

This movie is just filled with some really dumb and cheap double entendres as well as some really empty and dull performances that make it hard to get drawn in especially with a script as dully written as this. The camp value is pretty high as well which I found really took away from the experience. Back then, I guess, this was some pretty shocking shit. But nowadays, it's pretty much whatever.

Peter Sellers does here what he also did in Dr. Strangelove. The result in Strangelove is sheer brilliance. Here, I regret to report, not so much.

Strong writing and great performances deliver a film full of innuendo that balances drama and comedy while evoking sympathy, discomfort and a slew of other mixed reactions very well. It loses incisiveness in its second half, seemingly afraid to let anything be more than implied, but that doesn't prevent it from being a very captivating work.

Sue Lyon, Sellers, Winters and Mason are all great in this. This is probably Kubrick's most "conventional" film with none of the feel of his later masterpieces. The standout performance would have to be Sellers though who steals scenes but that's not to underrate Mason who depicts a hilariously pathetic obsessive man so convincingly. This is one of Kubrick's lighter films but it is still very intriguing and pretty maverick for its time.

Unlike most films, even ones made about sexual taboos, this suffers from being rather outdated and therefore a rather uninteresting study in this unusual relationship. Not a very good Stanley Kubrick film, but hell, it sounded like he wasn't very fond of this either. It should at least be noted that Kubrick went on to make nothing but masterpieces after this.

Highly enjoyable film and it has an excellent pace. Would've enjoyed it more if it was more weird and bizarre but it was already genuinely pretty creepy. Sellers and Mason are both fantastic, with Sellers giving us a nice preview of Strangelove. Lolita Ya Ya is a pretty awesome song, in fact the whole soundtrack was spot on. Kubrick was always great with blending music and film though.

I liked the comedic parts much more than the dramatic parts. I mean, taken on its own the movie is fairly strong, but it lacks the... care, or whatever Kubrick brought to his later films. I still haven't seen anything prior The Killing, but as of right now this is my least favourite of his films. That being said, the fact Kubrick is deservedly on such a high pedestal, and that nothing like this was going to be released until after 1968 makes this movie automatically worth watching.

The genius and beauty of the book were absolutely neutered by the old production code requirements, as well as the fact that a book based so significantly on internal narrative is difficult to translate to film. Peter Sellers manages to make up for that somewhat with his brilliant performances, and the film remains pretty good by most standards. Relative to Kubrick's other works, however, it's notably weak, both in terms of story and visual direction.

Light melodrama with a slight twist. On the plus side, Peter Sellers gave us a preview for Strangelove. A good movie, but one of Kubrick's weakest.

The beginning of controversy meets every film for Kubrick. A daring topic, especially for its time, though it's always eloquently orchestrated. Even if Sellers feels out of his element here (I would humbly disagree), it's a fantastic, paranoid film from one of the greats.

I actually 'appreciate' the subtle and alluded sexuality to this film. Made Humbert and Lolita's relationship even more pedophiliac and disturbing.

i forgot to rate this movie before the remake, so anyway yeah it's pretty good and stuff.

It's a good movie, but my opinion is biased since I think it's insufficient compared to the god-level novel it's based on.

Sellers is the coolest dancer.

Eh. Peter Sellers was the only thing I liked at all about this movie, but even he couldn't keep me from being bored and fighting off sleep. I really don't think it needed to be 2 and a half hours long, but it is Kubrick so I shouldn't have expected anything different. By the two hour mark I was ready for it to be over. I imagine they could get away with a lot more if the movie was made now, but I'm not convinced that would have made it better.

sellers steals the show

Confusingly abashed on its own turf. Well acted and shot.
