Movie Reviews

TV Guide - 8/10 by Maitland McDonaghFans of the first film will want to see this extension, though it stands equally well on its own as a portrait of thwarted, headstrong women trapped in a degraded present and borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Film Journal International - 8/10 by Eric MonderDeserves a thoughtful look-and a lively argument.
Entertainment Weekly - 7/10 by Owen GleibermanIt lacks the first movie's cohesiveness, but Grey Gardens was never a model of structure; it was more a reality show before its time, and The Beales of Grey Gardens brings us closer to the mysteries at its heart.
New York Times - 5/10 by Nathan LeeCatnip for the Beale cult, the film supplements but nowhere surpasses the funky charm and moldy glamour of the original.
User Review - 10/10 by Sasha IOf course not as incredible as the original documentary, but any new footage of these ladies is appreciated. More insight into "The Marble Faun" and Little Edie's paranoia of outsiders. Her obvious crush on the Maysles was adorable.
User Review - 10/10 by Lesley NI just love it, can't get enough! When Big Edie chastises Little Edie for using the $500 blanket from "Jackleen" to put out the fire; just classic!
User Review - 10/10 by Davin RYay! More! My life would be incomplete without the wisdom of Edie Bouvier Beale.
User Review - 10/10 by NiteOwl716 SMark my words: this movie will get at least two Acadamy awards. Just saw it a couple of nights ago. Will watch it again. The only thing I didn't care for was the feeling of drowning with these two in their decline. But then, that is what true artistry, directing, etc., elicits: the portrayed emotions. Definitely recommend this movie!!
User Review - 10/10 by Tyna WThis was just as good as the first. How did some of this footage even get cut from first movie!? i.e. Little Edie accidentally setting the house on fire! I just can't get enough of these two crazy ladies!
User Review - 10/10 by Ezra MIt is a great companion to the original documentary. I LOVED the Little Edie fashion show! Watch the original and if you fall in love with these gals, check out this one.
