What [the characters] need most from their maker is something he couldn't have given them at the time: the 1960s.

Glossy soaper ahead of its racially themed time.

Douglas Sirk's last Hollywood film is the jewel in his crown, a visually audacious, powerfully acted melodrama, with Lana Turner and Juanita Moore in top form, that was misunderstood and dismissed at the time as just a weepie or soap opera.
May 20, 2011
A consummate display of populist weepie-making.

While this device lends more scope, it also results in the overdone busy actress/neglected daughter conflict.

You'll be horrified at how this hokum manipulates you, but the best strategy is to just surrender and enjoy it.

This modernized remake of Miss Hurst's frankly lachrymose tale is much the same as its soggy predecessor. It is the most shameless tear-jerker in a couple of years.
March 31, 2015
The toughest-minded, most irresolvable movie ever made about race in this country.

Imitation of Life is still a potent onion. When passed before the moviegoer's eyes, it may force theater owners to install aisle scuppers to drain off the tears.

Forget those who decry the '50s Hollywood melodrama; it is through the conventions of that hyper-emotional genre that Sirk is able to make such a devastatingly embittered and pessimistic movie.
November 16, 2015
Sirk unleashed a melodramatic torrent of rage at the corrupt core of American life-the unholy trinity of racism, commercialism, and puritanism.
