Glossy soaper ahead of its racially themed time.
March 31, 2015
The toughest-minded, most irresolvable movie ever made about race in this country.
June 12, 2005
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.
February 09, 2006
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.

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

[VIDEO] Set in postwar New York, "Imitation of Life" is a wonderfully deceptive film.
May 20, 2011
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.
May 20, 2011
A consummate display of populist weepie-making.
New York Times

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.
