Movie Reviews of Lolita
Movie Review: Beautifully done
Summary: 5 Stars
Lolita is a horribly disturbing tale of pedophilia and the lengths that some people will go to to pursue it and disguise it. It's very hard to watch. In fact, the first time I tried to watch it, I couldn't. That said, it's beautifully done and perfectly cast. I am not normally a fan of Melanie Griffith, but she is superb in being a naive female who has a smattering of jealousy for her blossoming daughter. She appears genuine in her desire to be loved and respectable. Dominique Swain does an absolutely fantastic job of moving between the vulnerable little girl who wants a daddy and the budding teen. She tries to desperately to be as grown up as the role she is thrust into, but you can't help but see through to the tender little girl. Jeremy Irons is wonderful. You can see his mind calculating then fighting against itself. He's supposed to be Lolita's dad, and sometimes acts like it, but we can see Lolita taking the power away from him. In the end, Jeremy Iron's explanations and excuses for his failings expose his mental illness to the world. The last picture we see of Lolita barefoot, poor and pregnant is all that could be expected after being so horribly abandoned by her dad, neglected by her mom, and used by the other men in her life that she just wanted to love. I'm not a pedophile so I can't tell you if this is a realistic view of how it could be, but it rings true. It's full of contradictions, pain, joy, and confusion- just like life.
