Todd Haynes’ five-part HBO miniseries « Mildred Pierce » is not just great television, it’s a revelation. Wresting James M. Cain’s original story of ambition and maternal morality from the camp-classic embrace of the 1945 Joan Crawford film, Haynes has created not only a rich and nuanced vehicle for his A-list cast — among them Kate Winslet, Evan Rachel Wood and Guy Pearce — he has given us a rare and valuable gift: an American melodrama about class.

La mini-série Mildred Pierce (avec Kate Winslet), qui débute ce dimanche sur HBO, reçoit des critiques assez favorables dans l’ensemble. Celle du Los Angeles Times fait partie des plus élogieuses.
