Judy Parfait as Vera is one of the best underrated performances. She and Kathy Bates work together is like watching a master class in acting. So good!
Yes!!! Unforgettable performances. I love her as Sister Monica Joan on Call The Midwife.
For the younger viewers: in the US, women weren't allowed to have control of bank accounts or credit cards until 1974, which is why Joe was able to withdraw from the account with impunity.
Christ that’s nine little years before I was born.
Yup, it’s so crazy how recent that is. That’s why when you ask some older women for marriage advice, they say to have money hidden if you ever need to run away. They couldn’t keep their own money and had to give it to their husbands, they’d hide what they could in the kitchen, where the men of the 40’s and 50’s never looked.
@@chelseat177 When my grandmother died we found 50's and 100's tucked in between the fine China.
Yes, my grandmother told me to hide an account if I should need it. Women of her generation didn't have control of their money or other property. The wife and children "belonged" to the husband/father. It's crazy to think how this was so recent.
@@sue3317 my parents were unusual for their time because my dad wanted my mom to be in control of their accounts, because she was better at it as she had worked in corporate America, while my dad had spent 25 years in the army, and had zero banking skills. They had joint accounts, but on the rare occasion that the bank would call, they'd ask for my dad, so he'd tell them to speak with his secretary, which was really my mom. They wouldn't talk to my mom, but they'd speak to my dad's "secretary," which was really my mom. So stupid!
Thankfully the laws changed, but my mom still grumbles about being a fake secretary, just to be able to speak as an equal to the bank in the late 60's.
OctoKrool: "He treats the daughter perfectly well!"

Kathy Bates is such an amazing actress!! She won the Academy for Misery, but this character for her was the polar opposite and she nails it. Phenomenal movie. Great reaction!
She probably would have won the Oscar for this one had she not just won for Misery. Bates once said Dolores Claiborne was her favorite role.
Misery...is another movie adaptation of a Stephen King book. Kathy is awesome. Fried Green Tomatoes is another great movie with Kathy Bates.
I am so excited someone reacted to this! Thank you. The girl not keeping up with hygiene isn’t just depression. With child SA survivors not showering is the hope that if you are “gross” enough, not attractive, maybe they won’t touch you.
Just watching this just makes me imagine feeling already gross, disgusting and not worth it. Man! The trauma that can be created by someone that's supposed to love you.
Been there. You just want them to leave you alone.
@@barbarastrayhorn4667 Exactly!
Holy Crap! Thought nobody would get around to this one. Awesome flick.
They totally snubbed this movie. Should have at least had nominations. Some ways it's better than Misery.
Misery is great, but to me, Dolores Claiborne is far better.
I never really liked Misery. Always loved Delores Claiborne!
I believe Stephen King wrote this with Kathy Bates in mind after her performance in Misery
Also I recommend Gerald’s Game there’s a connection to this movie
The books were in a trilogy, I think. I used to be a big Stephen King fan....NOT number 1 lol. Dolores Claiborne, Gerald's Game and Rose Madder are the order iirc.
@@w1975b Is Rose Madder related to the other two? I didn’t remember that. Gerald’s Game is such a good book. King is one of the few male writers I’ve encountered who truly seems to grasp female characters and the separate, secret worlds they so often have to survive in. I was so impressed with the main character in Gerald’s Game and I listened to the audiobook until I had it memorized back in the day.
Absolutely
The Christopher Plummer character was actually invented for the movie, since the book is one of those that's basically unfilmable as it is. It's really quite a remarkable writing feat how they were able to completely refocus the story onto Dolores' relationship with her daughter in the present and make a story that's just as good and satisfying.
I agree, great adaptation that managed to keep to the point and the heart of the novel while making the necessary changes for film. I used to think Gerald's Game was equally impossible to film and was incredibly sceptical when I heard someone had done it. I was very happily surprised which made a nice change.
Two love stories in one movie: Dolores and Selena, and Dolores and Vera Donovan.
Agreed. Well put.
I think it was a bit of a comeback of sorts for him, he became this great character actor on the back of this film
Actually there is a similar character in the book, hes called McAuliffe and is described as a short scotsman, hes the one interrogating her in the book. But the thing is the book is written solely with Dolores as the narrator, so we only get her descriptions of the other characters
Kathy Bates is just such an incredible talent..her range is just amazing, every character I've ever seen her in, whether a small part to starring, she gives you a totally believable persona
Kathy Bates was magnificent. She should have won an Oscar. Bates said this was the role she was most proud of
I have a 13 year old daughter, I'm telling you they'd have never found his body.
I am with you!
I agree about Stephen King being an even better drama writer than he is a horror writer. Obviously his horror work is totally genre-defining, but it feels like it' harder to create really compelling dramas than it is to write scary horror, and the fact that he can write a story that's told in 2 hours where you get really invested in the characters and story and every character is dimensional and layered is incredibly impressive.
As much as I love his short stories in the horror genre, misery and Delores Claiborne are my two favorite by him.
Because the BEST dramas ARE HORROR.
I watched this movie ages ago. The mention of "Shawshank Prison" STARTLED me. Steven King wrote this and Shawshank Redemption.
Y'all finally watched one of Ms. Kathy's best films ... 👏 👏 👏
I had no idea y'all were Canadian .
I was wondering why he would send y'all stuff you could just pick up from the corner store 😂😂😂 .
Good job. I thought Kathy Bates was MUCH better in this than in Misery. I htought this was a much better film as well. Judy Parfitt was almost criminally neglected as Vera and her performance made me a fan to this day. She is still going strong in 84 episodes of Call the Midwife where she is excellent as well.
Sometimes being a bitch is all a woman has to hold on to. Oh lawd. My saying. And also shawshanks get busy living or get busy dying.
Dolores is probably my fave kathy bates movie. The book is hilarious with her humour as well. The book is a little different. There were sons as well. Vera(richbitch) had kids they never came around.
I defiantly recommend the book. The love between vera and dolores made me cry. They needed each other.
Great reaction as always. You guys are good at figuring out what's happening before it happens. You just saw the great Kathy Bates in her favorite career character portrayal. I think you would enjoy her in Fried Green Tomatoes starring alongside Jessica Tandy. It's a great story and the acting is superb. Take care until next time.
Ken St: My same thoughts.
For anyone who likes audiobooks, the audiobook for Dolores Claiborne is gold. The book is written as her interrogation after Vera’s death. It’s just first person talking and it’s soooo awesome. The audiobook really brings it to life.
And you get WAY more detail into everything. I want to say so much more but I’m gonna shut up.
But definitely give it a listen.
And the paper book is also written as Dolores’s first person recounting, written in the Maine accent!!!
@@tookitogo Yeah the audiobook is the same as the printed. The actress reads it all with the accent.
Great recommend. I've never read it for some reason.
Guys, "Lady Gray" will make you fall in love with her over and over.
'Dolores' is one of few good stories by Stephen King and the rare successful adaptation from book to screen that worked out.
Kathy Bates is living proof that talent and personality trumps all.
I love this film so much. It hits close to home. Both Bates and Jason Leigh are incredible.
You guys tackled great movie. This might have been the best adaptation of King's stories. Cast, cinematography and adaptation are brilliant. Kathy Bates IS Dolores Claiborne!
Um, no. The movie is dogshit compared to the book. That's like saying that Ready Player One, or The Martian are exactly like their books. All three books are in another league compared to the movies.
Nonsense, the book Dolores Claiborne is really good, but the movie is even better, it's a top 5 movies of all time for me, have seen it countless times
Marble rolling pins are used to keep ingredients (butter/lard etc) cool while rolling dough out.
I have one.
I agree with some of the other comments here: You would never be able to adapt King’s novel the way it was written. What they did by introducing Selena and the Christopher Plummer character is nothing short of amazing as when it comes to bringing King’s novel to life.
This film has so much depth. It's an underrated classic. The flash back filmwork was incredible. I cry so hard every time.
Good job, guys. This is one of my all-time favorite movies! And the reason Vera was a control freak was because she felt that she had so little control over her own life in her marriage. This movie -- among other things -- is about "empowerment."
Kathy Bates played out the words that Stephen King wrote to perfection. Such an immensely talented actress.
As a 40 yr old man I have to admit this is one of my favorite movies. It's really an unknown film.
I never knew it existed till someone mentioned it to me and honestly it's an incredible movie; solid plot and acting is amazing. Can't go wrong with Kathy Bates!
@@OctoKrool Stephen King's Non/less supernatural stories are so good(stand by me, misery, survivor type, etc).
Really wanted to see you guys reaction to the boat scene.....but maybe that was better left out.
This was the very first movie I ever saw with Kathy Bates. She is an amazing actress and this is one of her films that proved her talent, in my opinion.
Shes a good director as well. She directed several episodes of Six Feet Under which she also appeared in
@@paulinegallagher7821 Oh!!! Never knew that. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Six Feet Under, I’ll have to look into it.
@@misandristmayhem Its an amazing show, HBO (So you know its gotta be good!) and its about family, death, relationships and having to deal with a lot of heavy stuff. If youve ever seen Dexter, the guy that plays him is the brother of the character Nate, played by Peter Krouse, who is arguably the main character (Its a fantastic ensemble piece) and while there is ongoing character/plot arcs, its pretty episodic as it centers on the family run funeral home where it shows how a person dies (some in very disturbing, bizarre ways) and each episode will circle around that. Its an old show, but like most shows in the last 20 years or so, it doesnt seem old at all.
@@paulinegallagher7821 Okay. Interesting. Thank you
Thanks. A great movie with Kathy Bates - great actress. Based on a rivetting book.
The smile on Vera's face when Dolores lifts her from bed to chair always chokes me up. Every day Vera looks forward to that brief embrace. So sad. So perfect.
YES ! i'm so glad to watch someone react to this movie. Thank you Thank you thank you!
Even though her relationship with her mother was strenuous, I loved how she came back and represented her mother, she should have been a lawyer. This is such a great movie. Great job guys.
I loved the reaction to this movie. I remember first watching this movie with my mom back when I was I college. It was my mom's favorite movie. She is gone now and I am just glad that people are still enjoying this movie today.
Great review. Wish you guys would have included the scene where Salina comes to the revelation on the ferry of her dads grooming & sexual abuse of her. All of the trauma destroyed her life and her mom went to great lengths to protect her. This is such a brilliant film!
Two other Kathy Bates movies to check out: Fried Green Tomatoes and The Family that Preys
The filters used in this movie always fascinated me. The bright vibrant yellows of the past and the bitter cold blues of the present. Certainly sets the tones for what happened between both times. Kathy Bates did an amazing job as usual with Dolores, but Jennifer Jason Leigh and Judy Parfitt as Selena and Vera were phenomenal and totally underrated.
As much as I like Stephen King books and some of the movie adaptations, I don't think I've ever seen this movie. Kathy Bates is an absolute treasure.
One of Stephen King’s best adaptations so well directed and acted thanks guys
I love both the movie and the book. The whole daughter/detective thing was created for the film. But it was a brilliant and necessary invention; since the book is a first person confession. It's also connected directly to Gerald's Game and indirectly to the Dark Tower. The book gives Delores' theory as to why/how her husband started messin' with Selena. He might have always gone that route. Most likely would have. But it started the night of the stove log... They also had two sons in the book. Vera had two kids and THAT makes the book 10x crazier. You should read it, and talk about it on the channel.
Why did he do it?
Underrated masterpiece more people need to see this movie. Really enjoyed your reaction.
This is one of my favorite movies. Kathy Bates is amazing in this one.
My mom taught me saying I'm sure its said everywhere not just Maine but it goes "Red at night sailors delight, red at morn sailors be warned". I loved growing up with Stephen King 5 mins away from me. Bangor, Maine was incredible placed to grow up.
This is Kathy Bates magnum opus. One of the finest movies I have ever watched, about 25 times. The acting is over the top good. It was not a contender for awards because of the Stephen King association. Too bad. The Director provided a narrative on the DVD and talks about Fuji and Kodak film gave him the warm glow of flashbacks, and the cold gray of the present. It's worth listening to how he put this ensemble together. Plus, no special effects...pure acting.
Gah, I LOVE this movie, as deeply upsetting as it is! I squealed when I saw this in my subs! Can't wait!
EDIT: THANK YOU, KENNETH!!!
Finally someone makes a reaction video to this wonderful movie! My favorite Kathy Bates movie! Gotta love her superb acting in this one. And props to one of my favorite actors as well, Christopher Plummer...Rest in Peace.
Now you need to watch Geralds Game. It will make sense since you’ve seen Dolores Claiborne.
I never felt any connection between two. Interesting.
@@meanangel8114 The novels had a connection and while that connection was left out of this movie, it was included in the film adaptation of Gerald's Game.
@@dallismurphy3802 I'm sure, going to check out that movie once again, to find out. I know it's about solar eclipse, probably.
@@meanangel8114 Very astute of you. & if you enjoy reading for fun I'd recommend both books. Either way, enjoy!
Oh shit yes Delores was no joke!! I actually saw this in theaters back in the day. I own a VHS copy to this day! 😆
The acting is so incredible in this, there are multiple scenes that give me chills every time I watch it.
It’s common for kids who are being sexually abused to try and be as unattractive as possible. Thirteen is also a common age for it to start. I followed the red flag handbook myself; terrible UTI’s, GI tract problems, didn’t bathe, smelled bad, greasy hair, bad grades, sneaking out of the house at night to avoid the rape, becoming a scary persona at school so other kids stayed away. I also got fat because my abuser found fat women repulsive. The shame and self hatred is unreal. I love Dolores so much because she defended her daughter. Too many moms and others blame the kid. Nowadays I try to help as many brothers and sisters of circumstance as I can. The girl who played the teenage Selina visited an abused children’s home. One girl told her when her father started in on her, she’d go out of her body like a bird in flight. That’s what Selena was doing in the terrible boat scene. Really important film.
Another major impact of abuse is disassociation, believe me, I know. You doubt your past memories, or you block them out altogether. You know you're not normal; you're prone to rages, youre apathetic or indifferent to life in general yet you feel great empathy to the suffering of children or animals; basically innocent, defenseless beings. You are self destructive, you have self identity issues, you know SOMETHING happened you, but you cant articulate it, and even worse, you either genuinely cant implicate someone because you cant remember whose responsible, or you know exactly who the perpetrator is but you cant bring yourself to tell anyone because it will blow everyone's lives apart
stephen king + kathy bates = pure magic
Amazing film very classic Dolores Claiborne produced and directed by Taylor Hackford screenplay by Tony Gilroy based on Dolores Claiborne by Stephen King starring Kathy Bates, Jennifer Jason Leigh, David Strathairn, John C. Reilly, Christopher Plummer and music score by Danny Elfman. In 2013, Time named the film among the top 10 greatest Stephen King film adaptations. Thank you OctoKrool great reaction excellent👍👍👍👍👍
I always enjoy your reactions and you always lift my mood. I'm so often impressed with your empathy and understanding of certain issues that might seem outside your realm of personal experience when it comes to some movies. This is one of those, great job! If you haven't seen Gerald's Game yet I think you would appreciate it (it has a Dolores Claiborne connection from both novels, even if that connection was omitted from the Dolores Claiborne film you just watched). & while it might seem out of left field to suggest this one to a couple of young men, I think you guys would get a real kick out of Fried Green Tomatoes (with Kathy Bates). Thanks & love from New Zealand!
This is one role Kathy deserved an Oscar❤❤
41:28 - This scene is stunning. This entire movie is beautifully shot.
I believe that in the scene where the young daughter chatters happily about tapioca pudding - happened well before any molestation truly began. After, when her grades go suddenly down and her behavior changes - is the tell that something horrible has happened. {edit} and now I've watched the rest of your commentary and agree 100%
i SCREAMED when i saw u reacted to this. i sCREAMED i tell u.
"The Last Dragon" please!! I swear y'all would love it..
Thank you guys for doing this movie. Thank you for your empathy. 💗
Such an amazing film. Criminally underrated. And what does it tell you when King wrote a book just so Kathy Bates can play the title character?
You don't need to justify Dolores's actions with ""self-defense". If we lived in a "civilized" society things like what happened to Selena wouldn't happen. If a man can abandon civilization like that, then a woman can to and murder itself is justifiable. Glad you guys watched this film. It's heavy but worth it. Kathy Bates should've gotten another Academy Award for this role!
I agree, like I loved Kathy in Misery; but her performance in this is not only as good but possibly even better!
Great reaction, guys! This is such a classic movie, and it deserves a whole new audience. 🎬
Sometimes being a b**** is the only thing a woman has to hold onto. One of my all-time favorite lines
This is my favorite King adaptation by far. Glad you guys to enjoy it
Love the scene where Vera confesses
This movie will always have a special place in my heart I love it even though it's sick and twisted and demented it's one of my favorite Stephen King stories
a Stephen King classic. the book is a little odd with the story telling style being like a police report by Dolores. PS, I still say you should watch Crossroads with Ralph Macchio after watching your reactions to the opening of My Cousin Vinny.
Yea I’d say this is the only one where I call say the movies better then the book
And the audiobook is also better than the written one. Hearing her tell the story gives you another perspective
No one ever reacts to this movie, so thank you so much! It's an amazing film. One of Kathy's best.
You guys discussing whether it was murder or self defense... it just highlights why she was the ONE case that detective could not win. She set the trap for Joe to die, but technically she didn't kill him. So how do you prove in a court of law, that she did? You can't... so she got away with it, even though they both knew she did it. That's why the detective was so hell bent on nailing her for Vera's death. She got away once, he was not going to let her get away again. This movie was such a good movie and so well done. The performances were great too.
Lot of people say that - "if i ever get that way, kill me, i couldn't live that way"... But, take it from someone who's been there, and is still there, you'd be surprised how strong the will to live is even through such misery and pain.
Agreed. It's much different when you're actually living the moment instead of watching it.
Giving you a thumbs up without even watching yet, just for doing this excellent movie.
I love this movie and that quote is my favorite line of the movie.
Kathy bates is such an underrated actress her snd Jennifer jason Leigh both were terrific great cast disturbing movie great reaction thanks guys
She's not underrated, at all.
Just want to thank you guys for this reaction to the most underrated Stephen King movie adaption. Your reaction to Dolores Claiborne is one of only a handful and the only one that is over thirty minutes long on CZcams. Hopefully other reactors follow suit and react to this excellent film. 👏🏽👏🏽👌🏽👌🏽👍🏽👍🏽
This is my favorite Stephen king adaptation from a book! Kathy Bates is the best
Great movie, great story, Kathy Bates is incredible. Another great reaction Guys 💯👍
I love this movie so much. Two strong women who have each other back. It's a great cast, and acting all around.
That fuc#er of husband deserved everything he got.
A masterpiece! Saw this in the theater on opening day. First time i saw John C Reilly.
Speaking of John, check out The Promotion (2008)
Great Reaction guys. Always loved "Dolores Claiborne"
I have some recommendations:
"Sunshine" (2007)
"Gattaca"
"Children of Men"
"La Confidential"
"The Net"
"The hunt for red october "
"Ghost"
"The Hitcher"
"Pitch black "
"The Constant Gardener"
"Dark City "
I love how the frame the beginning of the movie to make you think she's guilty.
Jennifer Jason Leigh is also a treasure!
I love this movie. I've lost track of the times I've seen it. A few years ago I think it was TBS had it on a regular rotation for months. Each time I ran across it I had to stop what I was doing and watch. Bates is wonderful.
most people praise Katy for Misery, but Dolores Claiborne had a superior performance.
I agree, Kathy Bates and Stephen King agree as well. She said in an interview that DC was her favorite career character portrayal.
I agree too.
This out of all Stephen King movies I have seen follows the book to a tee!
So happy to see you guys react to this. Not enough people know about this movie and how good it is.
Definitely one of my all time faves and I love the book as well!
This is one of my favorite movies!
I am so excited for this! I've seen people react to Misery on YT, but I haven't seen anyone react to this movie, which I think is even better. Gerald's Game is related, but I think the movie is skippable. Lovely reactions to a gripping film, Boys! Keep it up!
Thank you for this. This is my favourite movie and a pleasure to see others appreciate it too.
Kathy has said this is her favourite role.
Fun fact: I went to college in Machias, Maine, the tiny town on the mainland that they reference once or twice in this movie. I think the island they’re on is supposed to be based on Beals Island which was only a few miles down the coast.
That's cool that you know this area of Maine. Is the medical examiner's office in Machias?
@@kensteele5139 It is the county seat but I honestly am not sure. I would guess that’s the case.
@@matthewganong1730 I was just wondering if they did their research in writing John C. Reilly's line "there's an autopsy in Machias ..." Don't mind me. Thanks for answering my question. Take care.
I think most of the sets were in Nova Scotia
I completely agree with everything you said at the end …. suffering a trauma at a young age isn’t an easy thing to deal with growing up … I can say from my personal experience … it royally fucks you up.
I'm trying to drop weight on a super strict eating plan, so as you're enjoying those snacks, I'm living vicariously through you.
Did y'all recognize Selina (Jennifer Jason Leigh) who was also Daisy Domergue in Hateful Eight?
Stephen King is a MASTER
THANK YOU for reacting to this great movie!! Too few reactors do. You guys once again did a wonderful job.
The Lovely Bones
No
My fav movie
HLL NAW! lol
Omg One of my favorites ❤️❤️❤️❤️ So glad you guys saw this ❤️❤️❤️❤️
BRILLIANT movie
aww fantastic king adaptation kathy bates is excellent in the movie...book is brilliant
I saw David Straithern for the first time in this movie. He did SUCH a good job here that I found him slimy for years after.
It's unbelievable he could play a violent drunk that well. His line reading is sensational
