BETTER THAN THE MOVIE

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 June 2019

Verified Purchase

Having recently seen the original movie with Joan Crawford, I found this TV mini series very much better. Allowing for the fact that the original film dates from the 1940s, I still find it hard to see why Joan Crawford won an Oscar, although I don't know what the competition was then. In any event, Kate Winslet gives an awful lot more to the part when compared with the rather expressionless performance of her predecessor. The production is, of course, is incomparable and the other roles much more natural that the original. Although very watchable, neither quite lives up to the critical acclaim they have received. If you are a film noir fan of the "golden years" of the 30s and 40s then no doubt Joan Crawford et al will be just your cup of tea. Otherwise, this is the version to go for.

Kate Winslet at her best

Here's the beautiful new version of Mildred Pierce, originally played by Joan Crawford who won an Academy Awards for the same role. Kate Winslet's acting is stunning and is supported by a great cast including Guy Pearce and Evan Rachel Wood. The only bad note is the excessive length.

Excellent production, another HBO winner

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 May 2015

Winslett is brilliant, the direction ts great, however after having seen the MGM original with Joan Crawford and a very pretty and mature looking Ann Blythe as the 16 year old, perhaps the casting of the daughter could have been a more mature looking young lady.
As usual HBO productions are excellent. I highly recommend this miniseries.

Good acting from Kate Winslet. The mood of the period very well realised , although some parts seem abit over the top in today's world

As depressing & dark as this was, I really enjoyed it. Once I started watching, I couldn't stop! I was completely hooked! Kate Winslet is brilliant as always.

Pretty good series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 April 2013

A good watch, I'd never heard of this but it's worth watching, the period setting is great and the acting is fantastic. Not exactly a happy story, a bit of an eye opener but a really enjoyable series.
