I remember seeing Dolores Claiborne years ago and how it stayed with me, long after the credits rolled, I was captivated by the story and by Kathy Bate's extraordinary performance as the titular character. When I was older, I bought the book and the film. Watched it a few times--still captivated by Bate's haunting performance. In essence, Dolores Claiborne is a character study, albeit a haunting and deeply emotional one. For the Stephen King movie aficionados, it's a must add in your movie collection. For the rest? It's an outstanding film.
