Kate Winslet is a terrific actress, of that there is no doubt. She exquisitely portrayed a struggling mother, torn between her want of independence and her desire to lavishly support her children. Every scene with Mildred and Veda was filled with such tension it vividly showed this split that plagued this mother.
The level of love, dedication, heartbreak, duplicity, forgiveness, betrayal, and reconciliation seen in this miniseries is off the charts. It is certainly one not to be missed.
For those comparing to the '45 version, all I have to say is if you liked that one so much, why watch the new one? If your ultimate standard of the depiction will never be reached, why waste your time and then turn around and complain about it?
In actuality, there is simply no denying that HBO has hit the mark once again.
