Dolores Claiborne 1995 ★★★★
An emotionally intense drama in which two women deal with troubles, demons and traumas.
Selena, who is repressing them, running away from and at first lashing out at people who bring it up.
Dolores, who knows what she did and why she did it and does not feel the need to justify her actions to people who in her eyes don't know anything.
Two broken women come together and find each other in a beautiful story. The hearing scene went a bit too far in the melodrama, but that is pretty much the only piece of criticism I can come up with.
Jennifer Jason Leigh is solid as Selena and Kathy Bates really excels as Dolores. The sort of great performance one can expect from the woman who won an Oscar for Misery.
Is this a good King expectation? I can't say since I have not read the book yet.
Is this a good movie? That I can certainly confirm.[/QUOTE]
