The Beales of Grey Gardens

Released in 2006, The Beales of Grey Gardens contains unseen, archival footage filmed during the shooting of 1975’s Grey Gardens. While Grey Gardens is a wonderful study of mother & daughter, The Beales of Grey Gardens plays more like a loving homage to the daughter. It highlights everything that’s wonderful about Little Edie - her eccentric assuredness; her sensitivity; her enchanting lunacy; her clever sense of style; her sweet, flirtatious, coquettish, girlish nature. I’m so deeply enamoured with her, while watching this film you can clearly see the filmmakers were as well.
