If Lolita hit the spot, these will too

Both keep coming back to the same thing: depression

Contemplative where it counts, witty underneath

Playful and romantic in the same breath
The difference: Made in the 1940s, in a different era of the craft

Both are built on the same subject: grief

Both land tenderness and melancholy at once
The difference: Easier on the wit than Lolita

Drama built on stillness, twice over

Witty comedy, and it commits to that

Romance with a pulse of play, in both cases

The same preoccupation in both: grief

Both lean on romance more than on drama

Tender comedy in both cases
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

One thread runs through both: lolita
