Dolores Claiborne Reviews

Vera Donovan: Sometimes, Dolores.. Sometimes you have to be a high-riding bitch, to survive... Sometimes, being a bitch, is all a woman has to hang onto

Absolutely brutal and horrendously sad. I recommend if you want to feel horrible for the family this movie follows.

One of the most unsettling Stephen King stories, and that says a lot since there’s nothing g supernatural about it. Kathy Bates come through with a top five career best performances. Part “who dunnit,” part psychological drama, all fantastic filmmaking.

Very hard and uncomfortable watch. If you could relate to anything in this then I’m sure it’d be very emotional.
As it stands for me it was perfectly good, though not particularly enjoyable.

The old rich lady was kick-ass, and the bad cop guy was sooooo unlikable holy shit

I really enjoyed this film, it was close enough to the novel that it didn’t feel like a completely different story. Some elements had been changed, not all for the better, but on the whole a good film.

8.7/10

good movie, felt so long just to get to the point though

King has the capacity to write captivating female leads better than most, and this is a great example.

I honestly liked it a lot, it’s got a phenomenal story that details what a mother will put herself through just to give her children the life she never had. It’s also got some amazing shots and I love the eclipse scene, there’s just so much emotion in the scene😫🫡

Very underrated Stephen King film, amazing performances and a complex unrelenting story

The nonlinear narrative structure and the performance from Kathy Bates masterfully weave a harrowing tale of motherhood and repression in a world that is uncaring and cold. “Sometimes being a bitch is the only thing a woman has to hold on to”.

Dark second half, very well acted

This was fantastic acting and a compelling story!

a little messed up, but good movie fr

8/10 chilling story! Kathy bates was amazing in this movie

Slow burn torture of sadness. Amazing acting.

This is a great suspense thriller! A must see!

Cool

One the most underrated Stephen King adaptations ever made. The two leads are fantastic and I loved the score (by Danny Elfman) and cinematography. If you saw Gerald’s Game on Netflix, you’ll see the connection in one pivotal scene.
