Engaging mystery with a satisfying ending
A Hollywood classic. I can watch this over and over and always am entertained from start to finish.
A different kind of noir with the complex relationship between mother and daughter, and rich vs working class.
Joan Crawford delivers a tour-de-force performance in this noir classic
I’ve watched this three times in a row at one point. There’s always new details in every rewatch. Very good movie.
Never thought the name Mildred could sound cinematic.
A career-defining performance by Crawford, and a story of single motherhood told at a time when it was shunned.
Thoroughly engaging and well directed drama about motherhood and sacrifice. A classic
This movie makes a good point why you should beat your kids.
A career-defining performance by Crawford and a story of single-parent struggles told at a time when few people were talking about it.
