Dolores Claiborne
Dolores Claiborne (1995), Taylor Hackford:
Half-baked Stephen King adaptation. Most of its failings seem to come from the source material. I haven't read the book, but parts of it are eerily similar to Gerald's Game.
Like King's other non-supernatural works, this is mainly character-driven and for the most part, they fail here. Kathy Bates is good, as always. Christopher Plummer does the best he can with his two-dimensional role. Jennifer Jason Leigh butchers what she has. I honestly kept seeing Stacy Hamilton every time she tried to emote.
4/15
