The Beales of Grey Gardens

While watching "The Beales of Grey Gardens" I was simply amazed at the amount of priceless footage that did not make it into the original film! Edie is truly a legend and icon of her time. It is not surprising that her style has been copied by numerous fashion designers; that woman definitely had a sense of style and it seems could make virtually any piece of clothing look good on her. If you are a fan of the original film, the new documentary is a MUST-SEE. Just when you thought you knew the two girls, along comes all the stuff you've never seen before, and you will fall in love with them all over again. The only down side is that at the end you will feel sorry that there will be no more antics of Big and Little Edith Beale to delight you for hours on end, but you be grateful for what we do have, and what these delightful characters provided us with.

I want to see why people enjoy this film. I just see unchecked mental illness living in filth and eating ice cream exclusively. I'm glad they had rich relatives that afforded them the opportunity to be crazy in the wild instead of some state run home. Poor old lady sitting in her trash and urine soaked bed as well. I would be shocked if either of those 2 worked a single day in their life. She was never a model in Palm Springs. Probably hooked up with a guy at a Howard Johnson airport breakfast cafe bathroom from Palm Springs once and that is where she got it from.

I'm pretty sure the house didn't have power. I think the really story would be hearing about how the city had to step in with their cat issue. Can you imagine the filth those inspectors found?

I did enjoy when the lady was complaining that the free roof she got was asphalt shingles and not wooden. I also did enjoy when she talked about the imaginary chauffeur she use to have.

Certainly the easiest way to put this is if you liked GREY GARDENS, you'll like this, and if you didn't, it's not going to change your mind. A pastiche of outtakes for those who love Edith and Edie, it's a mellower selection of clips which are all pretty captivating, thanks mostly to Edie's larger than life personality. I think I could listen to her talk and ramble on all day long. This is a less revealing and focused film than its predecessor, however... the scenes are shorter on average, focusing less on the odd family dynamic and history, and more on the amusing. Still, it's a treat for fans of the Beales.

7/10

If you ever wonder how loses look you should definitely watch this documentary which is actually a sequel on the same documentary re-ment 25 years earlier about the same sort of low-lives as the ones you get the sea in the movie which is pretty sad there is no evolution and stability remains down pointing to the lack of class and so we can definitely say that anybody liking this movie definitely proves that they don't have any dignity whatsoever and this is really bad is wrong with Western world and because of this Allah knows the great change needs to happen. There is no might no power then with Allah. Allahu Akbar!!

The 75-year film focused on the relationship between mother and daughter and themselves, and this one focused more on their relationship with their surroundings, more showing their friends and even interacting with the director. It is further supplemented with content about swimming, Catholicism, costumes and constellations, and Mrs. Bell mentioned poetry.
