Dolores Claiborne

A woman acquitted of murdering her husband ends up under investigation 15 years later, this time accused of killing her employer. Events take a dramatic turn with the arrival of her estranged reporter daughter, who is determined to get to the bottom of the affair. Kathy Bates gives a wonderfully subtle performance in Stephen King's effective psychological thriller, overshadowing co-stars including Jennifer Jason Leigh and Christopher Plummer.
