Synopsis

Eighteen years ago, the abusive husband of Dolores Claiborne (Kathy Bates) died under mysterious circumstances. His death was ruled an accident despite the suspicions of police detective John Mackey. Now the elderly woman she has nursed for many years has also died--with Dolores found standing over her body with a rolling pin in her upraised hands--and this time she is accused of murder. Her estranged daughter (Jennifer Jason Leigh), who blames Dolores for her father's death, returns to confront her with her resentment. Are things as cut-and-dried as they seem, or is there more to the story

    Remarkable Performance by Kathy Bates

    06 December 2008
    This film is a good example of a film doing justice to the novel is was based on. Made in 1995, this film's special effects are just as stunning as some of the most recent films I've seen. When I originally read the novel by Stephen King, I found it difficult to understand Dolores' thick accent... in the film, Kathy Bates portrays Dolores wonderfully and now when I read the book, all I can hear is Kathy Bates as Dolores. I found her performance was remarkable. Judy Parfitt portrays Vera Donovan very nicely, giving her exactly the kind of attitude that was seen in the novel. Certain scenes from the novel were changed or removed, but the main story is unchanged.
