🎥 Mildred Pierce (1945)

Joan Crawford delivers an iconic performance, earning her an Academy Award for Best Actress. The strong-willed and ambitious Mildred Pierce builds a successful restaurant business after her husband leaves her, only to have her world destroyed by her calculating daughter.

This classic post-war noir film features stark lighting, suspense, and complex emotional landscapes.

‘A pitch dark noir whose eponymous anti-heroine (Joan Crawford) is surely one of the most compellingly flawed women of the genre.’ – CineVue
