With its distant earnestness and leisurely pace, it might as well have been a Merchant Ivory production.

...any film of Lolita is bound to disappoint the few who insist on the primacy of Nabokov's novel

Unlike Kubrick's cool, black comedy, Lyne's LOLITA displays a much broader emotional tapestry
January 01, 2000
Lyne's update on this comic, bittersweet tale benefits mightily from a clever screenplay by Stephen Schiff and terrific performances by the movie's two leads.

The film is remarkably...disturbing. There's no other way to put it.
