x M. @ExcessMale Apr 24 Director Ackford skillfully guides the material away from being too LifetimeChannel-esque. Thematically and conceptually, the film is quite poignant and somewhat challenging. The one-dimensionality of the family man gone sour antagonist is an obnoxious sigh-inducing glaring wart on the pic’s face but doesnt derail the whole experience.

Dolores Claiborne masterfully takes King's book title to the big screen in outstanding form. What makes the film succeed is Taylor Hackford’s brilliant direction, which offers the audience an even-handed glimpse into the main character’s past and present trauma. Bolstered further by its terrific atmosphere, superb performances by Bates and Leigh, and its proper mixture of heartbreak and horror that pays proper homage to the King's novel. But what makes Dolores Claiborne shine is the journey both Dolores (Bates) and her daughter Selena (Leigh) endure as they confront their pasts and the demons they must face in the present. This film is not a horror film, like IT or Pet Sematary, but rather explores the horrors of secrets and unaddressed trauma that manifest when they remain buried too long. You will enjoy this underrated film. Five Stars.
