I haven’t read the book! But people who have swear it’s a faithful adaptation.

A ★★★★ review of Lolita (1962) I’m just going to say it: Humpert’s relationship with Lolita is inappropriate

Most of the replies @andylevy.net and I say to each other these days are taken from my letterboxd review of Lolita
