Critic Reviews of "Imitation Of Life"
New YorkerNovember 16, 2015Sirk unleashed a melodramatic torrent of rage at the corrupt core of American life-the unholy trinity of racism, commercialism, and puritanism.
Village VoiceMarch 31, 2015The toughest-minded, most irresolvable movie ever made about race in this country.
TIME MagazineMay 20, 2011Imitation 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.
VarietyMarch 19, 2009While this device lends more scope, it also results in the overdone busy actress/neglected daughter conflict.
New York TimesMarch 25, 2006This 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.
Time OutFebruary 09, 2006Forget 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.
TV GuideMay 20, 2011You'll be horrified at how this hokum manipulates you, but the best strategy is to just surrender and enjoy it.
ColeSmithey.comApril 29, 2011[VIDEO] Set in postwar New York, "Imitation of Life" is a wonderfully deceptive film.
City Pages, Minneapolis/St. PaulAugust 20, 2009What [the characters] need most from their maker is something he couldn't have given them at the time: the 1960s.
Video-Reviewmaster.comSeptember 25, 2005Glossy soaper ahead of its racially themed time.
EmanuelLevy.ComJune 12, 2005Douglas 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.
