Delores Claiborne, 1994
“Sometimes being a bitch is all a woman has to hold onto.”
I watched this February, 2006
Plot Summary: An estranged daughter returns to her hometown in Maine where her mother, decidedly differing from the norm, has been accused of killing the woman she was housemaid for. As the police and daughter dig up the evidence, the past comes forward to punch the daughter and the mother in the stomach.
What I Disliked
-
Seemed a little cheap with the secondary actors. Not a strong supporting cast.
-
Though I liked the use of flashback, some of them were hard to follow.
What I Liked
-
Stephen King wrote it. Nough said.
-
Kathy Bates just continues to awe me. She is awesomely scary here. Its like she is the consummate King character in real life.
-
Because it’s a King, it had a solid plot that kept me going.
-
Some great quotes: see the IMDB section on this here
Would I recommend it and to whom? Yes, but realize its going to be rough.
