Mildred Pierce (DVD)
Todd Haynes
The Depression is in effect when Mildred (Kate Winslet) breaks with her unfaithful husband, Bert, leaving the Glendale housewife to support her daughters as a waitress and part-time baker.
To keep up the middle-class facade, only neighbor Lucy (Melissa Leo) knows about her blue-collar day job. By protecting 11-year-old Veda (Morgan Turner) from the truth, however, Mildred encourages her snobbish tendencies, but then her pastry-making skills allow her to open a chain of restaurants with help from Lucy, feisty colleague Ida (Mare Winningham), and opportunistic realtor Wally (James LeGros), with whom she has a fling. Tensions rise between mother and daughter.
