Finally got around to watching the new Lolita last night. It held my attention, but the performances of none of the characters struck me as slice of life realism. Humbert didn't strike me as a real life pedophile nor did Lolita as a victim. Throughout I found myself picking holes in the logic or credibility of actions and lines. Seemed to me Humbert's and Lolita's relationship progressed too quickly and without much subtlety. Maybe the movie was intended as a phantasy rather than reality? Or maybe I'm just not in touch with the reality of nymphets and pedophiles.
