There is one thing about this hollyweird remake that i question and disagree with. Part of the reason grey gardens named for the dilapidated east hamptons mansion little edie shares with her mother edith big edie bouvier beale is so deep and endlessly rewatchable is that the beales pleasure in being seen is matched by the maysles joy in watching. Anyone who s seen the original doc on these ladies will certainly appreciate the performances by barrymore and lange.
