Very tragic. I didnt realize how traumatizing this was only until i had logged onto imdb a couple weeks later to review it. When i saw the title, i felt bad for a second. I think this film is overall great, but it is very misunderstood. If watched correctly, you will understand that there is in no way an any intention to glamorize such topics. Instead, it in its most raw form portrays the stories of many Lolita's and Humbert's throughout history. I didnt like how it was categorized under Romance in imdb, when in reality it is (an was made to be) a tragedy. In my opinion, this movie could bring more awareness to the topic than inspiration. So if people for just two hours put their prejudices away and watched it, they would understand the true message. I kept off the four stars because... i just didnt like it that much. MAybe because i am young, or in no way have an experience like this whatsoever. For some reasone it didnt appeal to me. However, I kept the 6 stars though, because I think it is a masterpiece. The cinematography is great, acting too, and most importantly it did a great job of portraying the topic in its most vulnurable, raw form. Maybe a couple of years later when i get older i will watch it again, and then it will do its justice for me.
