Leia W Apr 9, 2019 The subject matter is pretty disturbing by today's standards. I know the story is a classic and actually a decent remake of the Kubrick film. I'm sorry, but I have a hard time watching a movie about a grown ass man falling in love with a 14 year old girl. I found the story very slow paced and hard to watch. The ending is pretty silly in my opinion. Just know what you are getting into when watching this film. See more

Apr 4, 2019 La carga sexual que imprimió Lyne merecia su propia fotografia y su propia narrativa. Dominique Swain irradia perversión. See more

Harry S Sep 16, 2018 Adrian Lyne delivers his adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov's contentious novel about the fatal attraction of a middle-aged literature professor for a 12-year-old nymphet with solicitously calibrated empathy and damnation for pedophilia. See more

Han W Sep 5, 2018 Well-directed. Does a good job of not romanticizing the situation. Every pedo should watch this film - it would help scare them straight. The reality portrayed is that it is impossible to be in any kind of meaningful relationship with a 14 year old girl. It's barely possible to be in a meaningful relationship with a grown woman. But that's another discussion. See more

Harry S Aug 20, 2018 way better in any way than the 1962 version.

Han S Aug 17, 2018 Holds Fairly true to the book all things considered, most importantly a movie is going to be mere broad strokes of an extremely thick novel. The book was considered sacrilege when it was first published, thecfirst movie was extremely tame and almost everything regarding their affair was mostly inferred or implied to appease the censors. This 1997 version is certainly more true to the book and truth be told with our return to more puritanical values, in the age of Harvey Weinstein et al, I doubt this movie could ever be made again, at least not for quite some time, not in America anyway. The book was extremely well written, a classic, which was part of its draw, the other part of its draw is obviously the story itself. But that said this movie and movies like it "endless love", "pretty baby", "blue lagoon" are not likely to be made again any time soon. Good film, good pacing, a slight lull in the middle, starts off great and finishes well. As with all art films that deal with a somewhat melancholy story line you've got to be in the mood to see the film. Tommy boy it is not. See more
