Rainey Dawn A very good movie about a woman named Dolores Claiborne. Dolores is a woman that was a maid for another woman, the elderly Vera Donovan. One day when the mailman came to deliver Vera her mail he found the maid Dolores standing over Vera with a marble rolling pin at the bottom of the stairs - this is how our movie begins. The question is: Dolores guilty of murder or was something else going on? Dolores daughter, Selena, gets a fax about her mother - she goes rushing back to get the story. But this is no family reunion time - Selena has not been happy with her mother for years.A wonderful chilling film! A great late night movie! 9/10

MartinHafer This story is one of the best but least appreciated films based on a Stephen King story. I am not sure why it wasn't more widely acclaimed...perhaps Kathy Bates' prior performance in "Misery" overshadowed this one. All I know is that thought the story was terrific...with some nice twists.The story is, naturally, about a woman by the same name (Bates). She lives alone in a house...and is widely thought to be a murderess following the death of her friend, an old woman. Dolores' daughter lives in the big city and when she returns home due to the sensational story, she slowly learned what really happened through flashbacks. And, naturally, what the audience and her daughter THINK happened actually didn't.The film has terrific acting, a great story and keeps you guessing. Don't believe me, give it a try...you'll be glad you did.

Kirpianuscus she does one of the most seductive roles of her career. the entire dust and sand and fury and cold compassion and wise manner to define the events, the strange innocence and the form of angry are reflected in admirable manner. a film about justice. and survive. and an unique atmosphere. because it is one of the films who preserves in high manner the spirit of novel not only as adaptation but as the precise exploration of the small details who defines the force of the lines. a film about the struggle of a mother . and her strange victory. the landscapes, that Maine from the book,the dialogs, the special logic of Dolores are pillars of this film who has the rare gift to be a Stephen King in a not ordinary form of accuracy.

utahman1971 Dumb is not only the movie, but Kathy Bates is too. Never liked any of her movies at all. Not just because she is unattractive, but just because she just sounds dumb altogether. I don't think she is acting at all. She is mostly being herself.Not trying to be an arse, but just can't stand her, and she just looks evil on every single movie she is in. It is like she does not care about anything at all. Now that I said how I feel about Kathy Bates. The movie is one long boring movie that just takes forever to get somewhere that gets no where at all.These kind of movies are for the bored that want to stay bored. Nothing pulled me in this movie at all. Want to watch a movie to actually lose concentration on, this is it. Jennifer Jason Leigh is not attractive to me either, but is better looking than Bates. I was disgusted watching Single White Female with Jennifer.She took showers, but she still looked as if she was right off the streets she lived for many years. She had mold on her feet. Single White Female was way better than this crap.
