Alain E @AlainE Sep 27 The combination of the director and the protagonist produces a superb result. The only weakness in my opinion is the ending that comes anticlimactic, but apparently that’s what is in the book. Haynes avoids to slide into a cheap melodrama. When something really sad happens in the second episode, it will bring tears in your eyes. Sex scenes are rendered realistically, without exploitation. There is convincing depiction of conditions in the 1930s. I was not familiar with blood transfusion being used to treat infections. There is very good music, both popular and classical. Excellent color cinematography and I suspect intentional use of grainy image to indicate that we are witnessing something almost a hundred years ago.

Kate can play anything and Mildred Pierce is no exception. As always she melts into the role and brings a light, authenticity, charm, and depth that few actors can achieve on such a consistent level. Mildred Pierce is a beauitful period study on womanhood, family dynamics, and love. All of the actors are great and it is always a treat to see Kate and Guy Pearce playing opposite one another. Incredible music, gorgeous cinematography, and impressive costumes. A must watch. Loved it. See more Dani G 08/01/2024 Kate Winslet, impecable as always. The series, OK. It's good, but I think it was a little downward at the end, focusing heavily on the daughter. See more pj m 03/14/2022 What a cast! Kate Winslet and Guy Pearce are so good together. See more 03/20/2021 It was a good story. I found Mildred & her daughter were not authentic characters. Mildred was too kind & soft, hardly like Joan Crawford in the original movie made in 1945. Veda was not convincing & was over acting. It's very difficult to remake early Hollywood movies. See more 11/27/2020 A warming 1930 vibe. letting us through the Great Depression atmosphere. The story of family and sacrifice. Evan Rachel Wood perfectly played her role of a spoiled child, so good until you despise her character. An all out drama with an emotional ending | follow us at @uncle.review See more Read all reviews
