Lolita

“A fascinating if problematic early film from Stanley Kubrick, perhaps the most obsessive of the great auteurs of the 1960s, made just on the cusp of a run of cinematic masterpieces.”

“Nabokov’s satire is sensationally cast, with Winters and Sellers delivering some of their best work ever.”

Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle · 100

“Brilliant adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov's 20th Century comic-erotic classic. [08 Jul 2005, p.C2]”

Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune · 100

“Wild, marvelously enjoyable comedy, adapted from Nabokov's novel.”

Pauline Kael, The New Yorker · 90

“Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of the Vladimir Nabokov classic isn't as racy as the new one by Adrian Lyne, which opens in theaters tomorrow. But it's a lot funnier, thanks in no small part to the casting of Peter Sellers as a mystery man of many accents and Shelley Winters as Lolita's silly mother. [01 Oct 1998]”
