pull up your bootstraps
I mentioned yesterday that watching Mildred Pierce was a highlight of my weekend. I mean that in every way. I hadn't given the show much thought until I heard the NPR interview, which left me curious. I'm so glad I gave it a chance, because it's really stuck, leaving me eager for more.
Kate Winslet is incredible as Mildred Pierce. The character suits her well, not to mention she looks rather beautiful in her 1930s get-up. The story is captivating, empowering and tragic. One that grips you with lust, pride and a mix of other emotions, and then jolts you back to reality in an instant.
I'm feeling quite determined now, ready to pull up my bootstraps and make my goals a reality.
Needless to say, I'm intrigued and I'll be back for more. Have you seen it or plan on watching it?

I recently saw a commercial for it, and love Kate Winslet already so was planning to check it out eventually. But now that you've recommended it too, I'll move a little faster on that!

I love Kate Winslet! I have heard only wonderful reviews from this! So sad I missed the debut. I cant wait to see it! <3
havent seen this yet - will have to add it to the netflix que!
It's on my list of must-watch's, but John's affection for Walker, Texas Ranger has made it hard to introduce any new shows!
After reading your post I cant wait to see the movie. I love Kate Winslet and she is so wonderful! Cant wait!! Happy Tuesday, darling
Kisses
can I just quickly say, how happy it makes me to find your comments on my post.. ?

I'm wondering whether there is any connection with the Mildred Pierce movie from 1945 starring Joan Crawford. I loved that one and I'm also curious about this one. Kate is truly a talented actress. Ada
ooohhh...i have it recorded and hope to watch it soon. thanks for the NPR link...will have to check that out, too!
never seen it. but i love kate winslet of course. i started watching glee from the beginning. naturaly, i'm hooked.
When did this movie come out? I totally missed it? And is that Johnnie Depp? Seems impossible I'd miss out on a Johnnie Depp movie!
I wish that I had HBO I would love to see this version. Will have to wait for netflix.
