Stephen king rules in this history of family secrets and dark torments that lead to two murders a strong and enigmatic woman called dolores Claiborne.

Despite a rather stylish realization the editing look awkward and so does the screenplay.Only the source material- the story(which in itself is amazing) with the acting allow us to enjoy this awesome story.The beginning and the end are very good but the realization and the screenplay lost their flow in the middle. It still remain a good ne to watch though and a good Stephen king to start with on the screen..."IT" and misery remains far better nonetheless .

I have this impression that this kind of movie(suspense/thriller) with many suspense and thrilling and logical moments cannot suffer a bad editing and screenplay even for a moment ..it is in my opinion the genre of cinema that ask the most one mistake can destroy all the movie that's why Dolores Claiborne its disappointing in my opinion it doesn't reach what is expected for a convincing and good adaptation of the stephen's king novel..
