My first impression is of the strength of character of Mildred Pierce. This is a story about a woman who is not afraid to stay alone, who took her fate into her own hands. In the center is not only the image of the main character, but also a peculiar ode to a mother's love, which is above all other feelings, it directs all the actions of Mildred.
Though it is a movie from the 45th year, the story has not lost its relevance in our days. The main character, played by Joan Crawford, seems to be a modern woman with work and family on her shoulders. One cannot ignore the elegant outfits of Mildred and her daughter.
The film keeps you in suspense until the last minute, the acting is impeccable. The movie makes you think about a lot of things: how to raise children, how difficult it is to find people in life who you can really trust, and whether such strong love can stand up to vanity and lies.
