Editorial Review:
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

a storyline you won't soon forget
2009-07-16 - Oh my goodness- THIS is a classic movie. The acting is top notch, storytelling believable and incredibly interesting, and one of those movies you will come back years from now and watch again. I guarantee you will. There's honestly not a single dull moment for the entire two hours. In fact, I'd go so far as to say Dolores Claiborne takes the whole murder mystery plot to a whole new level of excitement. Too many twists and turns to pick a highlight, but the relationship between Dolores and her daughter will win you over in the end. You just want them to both work out their differences, but there's so many thrilling moments and new bits to the storytelling being added to your surprise, you're not sure HOW you want the mother and daughter to react to each other. What a film. I don't remember when the film came out in the mid 90's, but after watching it this afternoon, I won't forget it. A classic.
