‘Dolores Claiborne’ is one of the most under-rated and unappreciated movies, and while it is bleak and dark as fuck, it’s still one of my favorites. Maybe that speaks to something bleak and dark about myself, but whatever. The character of Vera Donovan, portrayed majestically by Judy Parfitt, is the highlight, and when the two leads are Kathy Bates and Jennifer Jason Leigh, that is saying a lot. This mood continues…
“Sometimes, Dolores… sometimes you have to be a high-riding bitch, to survive… Sometimes, being a bitch is all a woman has to hang onto.”
