A surprising turn on my book-cover-judgement
18 February 2023
I will say that upon seeing trailers for this movie and the description, I thought I just wandered on Nabukov's Lolita, and I hated that book so much I ended up skimming it to spare my brain the unnecessary crap o a p*do's rants and senseless excuses for his inappropriate attraction. But I digress... (spoilers below) .

. .

This movie started out as a story about a man who is having inappropriate thoughts about his daughter's 16 year-old friend, and then became an analysis on unhappiness and that burying secrets is a deadly - no, for real DEADLY - thing. I wish the story relied on other aspect to show what the rest of the movie showed (perhaps do away with the attraction for an underage girl, and just go with someone who was just 10 years younger than him). All in all, I could extract the idea they wanted to portray, and just "threw" away the rest.
