Directed by Adrian Lyne, written by Vladimir Nabokov and Stephen Schiff, produced by Mario Kassar and Joel B. Michaels.
Average viewer score of 7.1/10 from 2,027 ratings.
Adrian Lyne’s Lolita (1997) is a haunting and provocative adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov’s controversial novel. Despite being over two hours long, the pacing felt just right. The first act didn’t drag at all, and the transition to the second act was seamless, keeping me engaged throughout the film. Every scene felt necessary, with nothing added unnecessarily to stretch the runtime. The script was very well written…
