Dolores Claiborne | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

A fulfilling score from Danny Elfman and a well-rounded script from Tony Gilroy are met with some superb juxtapositions ranging from the dreary, drab present overshadowed by the events from a rose-tinted past.

It's rare to see a pop best seller come out this well in the movies.

Dolores Claiborne is a strangely delightful, chilling, and powerful film all at once.

We should be examining this one again for daringly showcasing how men get away with their impulsivity and evil deeds. Great works of art like this are telling truths we want to bury and forget, but our subconscious won't let us.

It is well-acted and nicely textured, but scenes of euthanasia and child molestation, a flurry of violence and confusing flashbacks, and Leigh's hard, angry face ensure that it's no barrel of laughs.
