QuintinMay 1, 2021Way more deranged than I remembered. Imagine what Mildred could have done if she had encountered a single stable person in her life.
Josh LarsenOct 18, 2020Mildred Pierce is about… well, it’s in the title. It’s about her ambition, work ethic and determination, done in a way that is both melodramatic and thrilling. It opens with a brief murder mystery but eventually turns into a different type of “here’s-how-it-happened” story,…

Curtiz holds you in his master grip, creating one of those WW II-era California noirs that keeps swinging you from darkness to sunlight, love to hatred, happiness to the pits of despair and death. [18 Nov 2005, p.C6]

Mildred Pierce is a somewhat reckless mixture of film noir and soap opera. It opens with a murder and then proceeds to run on revelations and betrayals and wild swings of fortune. Yet the high-wire act works, largely because Mildred Pierce has the right trapeze artist dangling in the air.

Though its craft is accomplished, the film never gets deep under one’s skin the way it ought to.
