Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The picture has a rare power, a garbled but often moving push toward an off-beat communication.

fresh:
Far more satisfying than his later works (one hesitates to call them mere movies).

fresh:
Where Nabokov was witty, Kubrick is sometimes merely snide, but fine performances (particularly from Peter Sellers, as the ominous Clare Quilty) cover most of the rough spots.
