Directed by Taylor Hackford • 1995 • United States
Starring Kathy Bates, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Christopher Plummer
Kathy Bates, who won a Best Actress Oscar for MISERY, commands the screen in another chilling Stephen King adaptation that’s part atmospheric whodunit, part searing human drama. Selena St. George (Jennifer Jason Leigh) stares at the note and news clipping: her estranged mother Dolores has been accused of murder. Grudgingly, Selena returns to her tiny Maine hometown to offer help. Not that she believes Dolores is innocent. In truth, she harbors suspicions going back twenty years. As the two women circle each other warily, they gradually piece together past and present, memory and fact to reveal the startling truth behind two mysterious deaths.
