The plot focuses on the strained relationship between a mother and her daughter, largely told through flashbacksafter her daughter arrives to her remote hometown on a Maine island where her mother has been accused of murdering the elderly woman for whom she cared. Kathy Bates stated in a Dolores Claiborne interview that her performance as the titular Dolores was her favorite performance she had ever given. Dolores has a struggle with her elderly, paralyzed employer, Dolores Claiborne Donovan, in her mansion. Vera falls down the staircase and Dolores ransacks the kitchen. She is Dolores Claiborne by a mailman, who sees her standing over Vera with a rolling pinapparently intending to kill her. Vera dies and the police begin a murder investigation.

Dolores Claiborne arrives in town Dolores Claiborne support her mother, despite her own doubts about Dolores' innocence. Dolores insists she did not kill her employer. Selena finds little sympathy for Dolores, as the entire town believes she murdered her husband, Joe St. George, almost 20 years earlier. Some of Dolores Claiborne town's inhabitants harass her by vandalizing her home, taunting her in the street, and driving Dolores Claiborne her house and screaming at her. Detective John Mackey, who was the chief detective in her husband's murder case, is determined to put Dolores away for life. Selena also believes Dolores killed her father, and has Dolores Claiborne spoken to her mother in over a decade. InJoe was an abusive alcoholicand one night Dolores Dolores Claiborne threatened to kill him if he ever Dolores Claiborne her again. Selena, then 13 years old, Dolores Claiborne unaware her mother was being abused. Dolores went to work as a housemaid for millionaire Vera Donovan to save money to pay for Selena's education. Dolores went to the bank to withdraw her money so Selena and she could flee Joe's abuse. The plan was abandoned, however, when Dolores discovered that Joe had stolen the money from Selena's savings account. Dolores says Vera threw herself down the staircase and begged Dolores to put her out of her misery. Mackey refuses Dolores Claiborne believe her, and reveals that Vera has left her entire fortune to Dolores. Mackey informs them the will is eight years old, which nearly convinces Selena her mother Dolores Claiborne guilty. Dolores eventually tells Selena that before he died, Dolores realized Joe was sexually abusing Selena when he gave her an heirloom locket. Selena has always furiously denied any abuse, and after a fierce argument, she storms out, leaving Dolores to fend for herself. Back inDolores broke down and confessed Joe's abuses to Vera, who remained characteristically cold until Dolores mentioned that he was molesting Selena. Turning unusually sympathetic, Vera implied she killed her own late, unfaithful husband, Jack, and engineered it to look like an accident. Vera's confession formed a bond between the two women and convinced Dolores to take control of her situation. As a total solar eclipse approached, Dolores Dolores Claiborne pointedly given the rest of the day off by Vera. Dolores and Selena had Dolores Claiborne argument about Dolores' suspicions regarding Joe's sexual abuse. Selena fled home Dolores Claiborne the weekend to work at a hotel, where guests had flocked for the eclipse. Joe soon returned from working on a fishing boat, and Dolores offered him a bottle of Scotch to celebrate the eclipse. After Joe got drunk, Dolores revealed she knew he stole from Selena's account and molested his own daughter, then provoked him into attacking her and falling down an old well, leaving Dolores Claiborne to die as he plunges to the stone bottom. Selena hears this entire story on a tape left for her by Dolores, who had foreseen her departure. While on the ferry, Selena suddenly uncovers a repressed of her father Dolores Claiborne her to give him a handjob. Realizing everything, Selena rushes back to Dolores as she is attending the coroner's inquest. As Mackey makes a case to be sent to a grand jury in an attempt to indict Dolores for murder, Selena arrives and tells him he has no admissible evidence, Dolores Claiborne is only doing this because of his personal vendetta against Dolores, and that despite an often stormy relationship, Vera and Dolores loved each other. Realizing that Dolores Claiborne case would likely end with either a dismissal Dolores Claiborne acquittal, Mackey reluctantly drops the charges. Dolores and Selena reconcile on the ferry wharf before Selena returns to New York. Though typically classified as a drama and psychological thrillersome critics, such as Roger Dolores Claibornehave classified Dolores Claiborne Dolores Claiborne a horror film[8] while it has also been identified as a Gothic romance. Film theorist Kirsten Thompson identifies the film as a melodrama"produced by the repression of specific traumas, [in this case] domestic violence and incest. The flashback scene in which Selena recalls her father's forcing her to masturbate him on the ferry has been particularly noted Dolores Claiborne critics: "Here, Selena and the viewer alike come finally to see Joe's transgressions, and by implication, to understand the truth of Dolores' tale. Throughout this scene, the perspective offered by the camera remains firmly focused on the reactions of the victim of the sexual crime. Dolores Claiborne has been cited as a "self-consciously feminist " film that "combines the melodramatic impulse with the investigative structure of a noir crime thriller and a contemporary feminist consciousness. The site's consensus states: "Post- Misery Kathy Bates proves to be another wonderful conduit for Stephen King's novels in this patient, gradually terrifying thriller. Bates's powerhouse of a performance Only after the film has carefully laid the Dolores Claiborne for a story of old wounds and violent mishaps does the anticlimactic truth become apparent. That ranks it as the 15th-highest grossing film based on a Stephen King novel, unadjusted for inflation. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Theatrical release poster.

Dolores Claiborne - Wikipedia

Under a gray and brooding sky, Stephen King 's Maine brings forth yet another labyrinthine tragedy in "Dolores Claiborne. The non-supernatural movies based on King stories "Stand by Me," " Misery Dolores Claiborne " The Shawshank Redemption " and this one are curious in that they deal with unhappy situations, and yet somehow don't turn audiences off - maybe because the characters are so strongly drawn. Here we have a story Dolores Claiborne a hardworking housekeeper named Dolores Kathy Bates and the daughter she hasn't seen for 15 years, a New York magazine writer named Selena Jennifer Jason Leigh. One day Selena gets a fax of an article from the Bangor, Maine, paper, about a woman suspected of murder. Scrawled across the cover page are the words, "Isn't this your mother? She arrives in the kind of town where the motels close Dolores Claiborne winter, everybody knows one another, and people still say, "Oh, my gravy! His name is Mackey Christopher Plummerand his accent starts out folksy but turns chilling. We in the audience have already seen the fatal event, in the title sequence, and it sure did look like Dolores Dolores Claiborne that poor old lady down the stairs, and then was fixing to bash her head in with a marble rolling pin, just when the mailman Dolores Claiborne the crime. Dolores Claiborne maybe there is another way of looking at the murder - andat the death, 15 years ago, of Dolores' husband and Selena's father, a mean drunk who died after falling down a well. Dolores worked for ages for the old lady, a perfectionist named Vera Donovan Judy Parfittwho demanded "six clothespins, not five" on every sheet, and wanted them hung outside on the line, even in deepest winter. Maybe she had a motive for killing her. The mother and her daughter move back into the ramshackle family home, and we discover that Selena Dolores Claiborne a lot of booze, pills and cigarettes to keep the lid on the kinds of stresses that are caused by cigarettes, pills and Dolores Claiborne. She has little regard for her mother and may even believe the woman had something to do with the father's death. More than this I dare not say. And much depends on what happened on a day when there was a six-minute total eclipse of the sun King is big on eclipsesand how the drunken dad David Strathairn ended up down that well. Given the level of melodrama in this story, it's surprising how much it turns into a two-character Dolores Claiborne. Bates and Leigh are well- matched here, as mother and daughter with a long Dolores Claiborne of deep hurts and suspicions. There is no false sentimentality, and - more important - Dolores Claiborne false theatrics in their Dolores Claiborne They are bitter, taciturn Maine people, with a lot of shared hurt. So Dolores Claiborne is their chemistry that a subplot involving Selena's New York job and editor is an unnecessary distraction. It's sometimes distracting to tell a story in flashbacks and memories; the story line gets sidetracked. The director, Taylor Hackfordis successful, however, in making the present seem Dolores Claiborne flow into and out of the past. He is helped by the uncanny resemblance between Leigh and Ellen Muth, the actress who plays her as a young girl. And a key story Dolores Claiborne is made much more convincing by a Dolores Claiborne of key speeches, wonderfully delivered by Judy Parfitt as the exacting but not evil old lady. Dolores Claiborne movie assigns her one of several repetitions of the movie's dialogue riff, which is, "sometimes being a bitch is all a Dolores Claiborne has to hold on to. Isn't a lot Dolores Claiborne taken for granted, not only about the current death but also about the past one? It seemed to me the plot stirred up more than it settled, but Tony Dolores Claiborne screenplay satisfied me with one perfect speech by Leigh, which ends, "whatever you did, I know you did it for me. Does this movie creep up on you? Oh, my gravy. Roger Ebert was the film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times from until his death in Inhe Dolores Claiborne the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism.
