The elegance and the decadence of two superstars, as Warhol understanded. A great cinematographic travel to East Hamptons. [Full review in Spanish]

Cinematismo
Rarely have high spirits and theatrical energy seemed like such a tragic waste; an era and its myths seem to be dying on-screen in real time.

[E]xtraordinary....[The Beales] turn out to be natural performers who are thrilled to have finally found an audience.
Sight and Sound
The Maysles Brothers (in this film, working with Hovde and Meyer) habitually put human beings on the screen and ask us, simply, to recognize them. For this reason alone, Grey Gardens warrants viewing and support.

Rating: 5/5 --
The beauty of this film is the dignity it imparts to the Beales, trapped in their pasts. They failed to launch, yet paradoxically, they continue to fly so high.

Time Out
Rating: 5/5 --
The film resists a focus on the eponymous house's restoration, instead representing the women's chaotic lives as a non-linear series of moments.

An extraordinarily crafty invasion into the lives of Edith Beale and her daughter Edie.

Product Description:
Out in East Hampton, behind a cloud of overgrown foliage and weeds, there is a large decaying mansion which is home to Edith Bouvier Beale and her grown-up daughter Little Edie. Big and Little Edie are the aunt and first cousin of Jacquelyn Kennedy Onassis, and this documentary is a portrait of their unusual life together. When Little Edie left New York, she left behind her dreams of stardom to take care of her aging mother, and together they developed a unique relationship, cloistered away in their fading glory. A stirring portrait by the pioneers of documentary filmmaking, the Maysles Brothers.
