Dolores Claiborne was accused of killing her abusive husband twenty years ago, but the court's findings were inconclusive and she was allowed to walk free.

Things look bad for Dolores when her daughter Selena, a successful Manhattan magazine writer, returns to cover the story.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director bets on details: a gesture, a glance, a pause. In a good drama this is what says the most — and that principle is upheld here.

Worth watching if you're in the mood for serious cinema. Not background viewing — it demands attention.

For viewers who can watch slow cinema and value the human element in stories.

Director: Taylor Hackford

Viewing atmosphere: In quiet, in the evening. Better alone or with someone who watches films seriously.
