Review of Dolores Claiborne (1995) by Scraper — 12 Jan 2014

Lost in the gloom that is Stephen King is an amazing story empowering to women. Instead of strong archetypes of today's crime shows portraying strong women as those who can sling guns and punch out the bad guys, Dolores Claiborne uses different elements.

Dolores holds the burdens of a shattered family over huge spans of time and boldly stands in the way of those who want to destroy her to protect those who matter most. Through the grayness of the setting and the weight of the subject matter is revealed a story of strength, honor, and perseverance.
