Not the Usual Stephen King
Another Stephen King book brought to life on the screen, Dolores Claiborne (Kathy Bates) is not quite like the usual Stephen King tale. It has no supernatural dimensions. It is a thriller, but it is not scary. It is a story of a hardworking, down-to-earth woman who has led a simple life other than... Read full review »
Women Helping Fate in Male-Dominated Worlds
I hope that Kathy Bates is grateful to Stephen King. He has provided her with her two most memorable roles, Annie Wilkes in which she won an Oscar in “Misery” (1990), and the title role as “Dolores Claiborne” (1995), in which I think she was even better, playing a resolute... Read full review »

Dolores Claiborne: Sometimes In This Life We Get What We Deserve
I remember when I first watched the movie Dolores Claiborne and I became so intrigued that there was nothing you could have done to distract me from becoming totally engrossed in the film. It's based off of a Stephen King book and usually those movies aren't so hot. I can think of a few that 'made... Read full review »
Dolores Claiborne: Stephen King's Maine Thriller Doubles As A Human Drama/Lean'N'Mean WO II
Author Stephen King, who has had many books brought to the big screen, is best known for supernatural horror as in Carrie, The Green Mile, The Shining and Dream catcher (as movies I've seen these, also read Carrie). As you can see, I haven't been much of a fan since King has written probably a... Read full review »
Not Stephen Kings Scariest
Although I did enjoy Delores Claiborne, I really did'nt find it to be a scary film. More of a drama/suspence if you ask me.
The plot was good. Delores Claiborne , a battered housewife and mother of 1 daughter, dispised her husband , but was determined to make things work ,or go with the flow...

Outstanding movie, Just don't do what Bates did in your Home!
This movie was a very good movie as with all of Steven Kings movies. Bates did very well acting in the movie, as a mistreated wife and a protective mother. The movie was one I watched on the television, during one of lifetimes movie marathons. I really enjoyed the movie,and the plot was pretty... Read full review »
Motherly Instinct and Revenge eclipse in Delores Claiborne
Their is rarely a time that I am completely happy with an adaptation of a Stephen King novel. To me, King creates such strong characters and such an involving, detailed story it is extremely difficult to do it justice. THE STAND was not bad but so much is left out and the casting was not always the... Read full review »
Dolores Claiborne reveals all.
Dolores Claiborne is the 1995 adaptation of Stephen King's novel by the same name. Many of King's novel do not transfer well to film, but this was one of the exceptions. This film set in Maine, as many of King's novels are, is a nice translation of the book. It is set on an island off of Maine, and... Read full review »
Deloris Claiborne May Be A Super B*tch, But She Loves Her Child.
After I read the novel and left King behind (I lost interest) I doubted I would ever want to see any of his newer novel-based films. If I couldn't stand the novels, the films mostly likely wouldn't interest me. However, the film version of Deloris Claiborne had something I really love watching,... Read full review »
I HATE Stephen King, but.....
I don't know why I even saw this movie - I hate just about everything by Stephen King (okay, I liked Misery). But there is something in this movie that combines the eerieness and intensity of Stephen King with classic "chick flicks" and psychological dramas. It is a "small" movie about characters...

Kathy Bates was Great!
I am not here to analyze the differences between the book and the movie, I'm here to talk about the quality of the movie. Let me say that I want to give away as little about this movie as possible, but since it has been out for a while, I'll spill the beans more than I would if it were at the... Read full review »
"Sometimes being a b*tch is all a woman has to hold on to"
In this Stephen King thriller, you will find out exactly why Dolores Claiborne and her daughter, Selena, do their best to hold on to the b*tch status.
Set in a small, dreary town on the coast of Maine, the movie starts with a murder mystery. The mailman happens across the body of an...

Is she guilty?
Dolores Claiborne is a very good movie, that takes a few twists along the
way.
Dolores takes care of an older women, when the women 'falls' down the
stairs in her home and dies. This is viewed as very suspicious, especially when there was supposedly a witness - after the fact.

Absolutely The Best!!!
As a fanatical Stephen King 'reader'. I was very pleased with this movie. Awesome sets, camera angles, flashbacks and drama. Kathy Bates, once again plays the part like it was written for her. The story follows a strong, but lonely womans plight to sort out her past, that an alcoholic husband... Read full review »
Dolores Claiborne: A Twist Ala King
Stephen King's usual horror is absent in "Dolores Claiborne" -- so much so that the viewer may experience moments where they are made wonder, "what is going on here?" before they realize the truth. This is not a true King horror... at least, not in the expected vein of past King movies.

Another quiet, strong Stephen King drama
Yet another movie that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Stephen King can tell a compelling story without falling back on the traditional elements of horror and the supernatural. Dolores Claiborne is also the second three-star King film to star Kathy Bates (the first was Misery). Bates plays... Read full review »

Dolores Claiborne [VHS]
Dark secrets, family torments, and two murders swirl around the stoic, hardened figure of Dolores Claiborne (Kathy Bates), a housekeeper accused of murdering her employer of 22 years. Then there was that timely accident that took Dolores's husband (David Strathairn) during the solar eclipse of 1975. Yet with all the somber suffering that follows Dolores like a miasma of pain, none of it compares with the heartache of a relationship she has with her grown daughter (Jennifer Jason Leigh). Although this flick is rife with horror, it is not of the supernatural kind, but rather of the torment only real people can impose on one another. The script is full of colorful language, and director Taylor Hackford successfully weaves several plot threads and psychological dilemmas throughout this engrossing tale without diminishing any of them. He not only culls intense performances from his cast, but he also brings to life the landscape around them. When the film's best-kept secret is finally given up, it occurs under the surreal backdrop of a solar eclipse that is a truly sensational bit of cinematography. --Rochelle O'Gorman
