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.
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
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!
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.
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.
I have a 13 year old daughter, I'm telling you they'd have never found his body.
I am with you!
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 😂😂😂 .
OctoKrool: "He treats the daughter perfectly well!"
Us: Eating popcorn, and waiting...
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
Kathy Bates was magnificent. She should have won an Oscar. Bates said this was the role she was most proud of
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!!!
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
YES ! i'm so glad to watch someone react to this movie. Thank you Thank you thank you!
I love this film so much. It hits close to home. Both Bates and Jason Leigh are incredible.
Two other Kathy Bates movies to check out: Fried Green Tomatoes and The Family that Preys
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.
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!
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.
Thanks. A great movie with Kathy Bates - great actress. Based on a rivetting book.
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!
Sometimes being a b**** is the only thing a woman has to hold onto. One of my all-time favorite lines
i SCREAMED when i saw u reacted to this. i sCREAMED i tell u.
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."
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.
Underrated masterpiece more people need to see this movie. Really enjoyed your reaction.
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!
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?
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
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.
"The Last Dragon" please!! I swear y'all would love it..
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.
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! 😆
Great movie, great story, Kathy Bates is incredible. Another great reaction Guys 💯👍
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?
Y'all watch this movie.
The Boondock Saints
Sleepers
Super Troopers
The Fifth Element
Giving you a thumbs up without even watching yet, just for doing this excellent movie.
This film has so much depth. It's an underrated classic. The flash back filmwork was incredible. I cry so hard every time.
"He treats the daughter perfectly well"
Ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no no
Minute 30 I’m pissing my pants and clenching my butt cheeks, because U2 are totally tuned in and if you weren’t, this movie would be ruined. You really really really are doing a justice to a severely underrated Stephen king movie.❤❤❤❤❤
This is one of my favorite movies. Kathy Bates is amazing in this one.
Begging for you to watch her in American Horror Story. There are so many AHS junkies out there. You will have a whole new following. Sending love to you and yours from Orlando, Florida, Heather.
Kathy Bates played out the words that Stephen King wrote to perfection. Such an immensely talented actress.
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
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%
Great reaction, guys! This is such a classic movie, and it deserves a whole new audience. 🎬
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.
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.
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👍👍👍👍👍
One of Stephen King’s best adaptations so well directed and acted thanks guys
Jennifer Jason Leigh is also a treasure!
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)
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.
It's so weird. Whenever I watch movies like this, women always seem to pick up the subtext of violent/sa way sooner than men do. I figured it out the first scene with the dad and the daughter.
Me too but like Chris said I thought maybe I'm over thinking it because the dynamic is different in different families but it turned out we were right and that's what's sad about it that it makes you doubt your judgement
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!
Joe is fucking awful in this movie and he got what he had coming. The book is good. Kathy Bates is Amazing. the guy who played joe is a good actor too but I hate joe. He was good in The Expanse tho.
38:22 I love watching you guys make the connection. This movie is really underrated. And Kathy does such a great job with this character. It's almost like it was made for her.
Oh you guys skipped over the scene where Selena remembers. Which is understandable it's pretty upsetting. In the book though Delores picks up a rock and smashes her husband's head while he's holding on to the ledge pulling himself up. She does kill him. But like I said he had it coming.
46:42 Curtis is right. Selena started to degrade because of what her father was doing to her, her grades started to slip, her hygiene fell off. He hurt his daughter. And Dolores tried to get away from him by closing her bank account and leaving with her daughter but he took that option away and sealed his fate.
There was horror in this movie, it just wasn't supernatural. A father going after his child, horrific.
Thank you, Kenneth!
Yeah I kinda feel for the actor having to play a despicable role like that. I've seen him in other stuff and he's good but unfortunately for me he'll always be "that guy".
Yes, that Ferry flashback scene is so chilling, I was disappointed that they didn't show their reaction to it, but I also completely understand why.
Thank you guys for doing this movie. Thank you for your empathy. 💗
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.
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.
Did y'all recognize Selina (Jennifer Jason Leigh) who was also Daisy Domergue in Hateful Eight?
Another great, emotional, Kathy Bates film; try Green Fried Tomatoes At The Whistle Stop Café!
For another excellent King adaptation, check out Needful things!
Such a cool frikkin movie!
There's something essential missing in the adaptation.
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.
You didn't show the reveal scene when selena remembers on the boat a moment about her & her father. Thanks, because that was a f'd up scene. This movie came out when I was a teenager and I had no interest in seeing it. I had watched this a couple of years ago and I can appreciate this film now. Great reaction btw.
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.
brothers this is a request you would like to watch, h.g. wells time machine, watch the 1960 version first and later the 2002 version please.
The Lovely Bones
No
My fav movie
HLL NAW! lol
Please react to Malignant, the new James Wan novie, it's made for great reaction videos, so much surprises! Thank you!
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!
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
Love the scene where Vera confesses
41:28 - This scene is stunning. This entire movie is beautifully shot.
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 "
Kathy Bates & Jennifer Jason Leigh are both underrated.
You should give Single White Female a try. JJL is great in it.
I 👏 fucking 👏 love 👏 this reaction. You boys got every bit of it. I'm an SK fan from way back, and this is one of my favorites. I've watched it for the last two eclipses. Eclipsie? Whatever.
BRILLIANT movie
I’ve watched several of y’all videos and just realized y’all are Canadian. Eh 🇨🇦
You should check out the audiobook. Frances Sternhagen gives a frankly amazing performance.
Forest gump a good one
Just finished reading the book and seriously just watched the movie. (already having done with Misery awhile back) The book wasn't at all what I expected and absolutely jarring in parts as was the film. Very different but still close enough to the source material... which was literally all written by a stenographer who is putting her words onto paper.
ETA: In the book she donated the $$ Vera had given her. Need to reread some parts, but I THINK it was to the charity that Vera had given a smidge of $$ to. Definitely give the book a go. In the final pages were the were newspaper clippings after Dolores had told her tale.
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.
Omg One of my favorites ❤️❤️❤️❤️ So glad you guys saw this ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great reaction. Some obscure films to check out
Mother’s Boy’s
Hell Night
Stealing Home
The Entity
Basket Case
Last American Virgin
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.
stephen king + kathy bates = pure magic
Stephen King movies to watch- 1408, Needless Things, Desperation, Secret Window, Apt Pupil, Rose Red
Wasn’t that awesome!? I find this movie disturbing but very satisfying which is a weird combination.
This is my favorite King adaptation by far. Glad you guys to enjoy it
Love you guys! Coming back for my umpteenth viewing of your DC reaction!
aww fantastic king adaptation kathy bates is excellent in the movie...book is brilliant
Awesome movies and reactions...you both rock.
Everyone talks about Bates performance, but what about Jennifer Jason Leigh's? her performance is more than remarkable, don´t you think?
Jennifer Jason Leigh has never gotten the recognition she deserves. She. Was great in Single White Female.
Casting couldn't have been any better. All these actors pulled off performances of a life time
