Grey Gardens is the name of a neglected, sprawling estate gone to seed. The crumbling mansion was home to Edith Bouvier Beale, often referred to as "Big Edie," and her daughter, "Little Edie." The East Hampton, Long Island, home became the center of quite a scandal when it was revealed in 1973 that the reclusive aunt and cousin to Jackie O. were living in a state of poverty and filth. That's the background to this 1976 film portrait by cinéma vérité pioneers Albert and David Maysles, but it's only incidental to the fascinating story they discover inside the estate walls.
The two Edies have lived in almost complete seclusion since the mid-1950s, ever since Big Edie's husband abandoned her and Little Edie (then a young socialite on the verge of a dancing career, or so she claims) was called home to care for her depressed mother. Twenty years later they continue to live in their memories while camped out in a single bedroom of the 28-room mansion overrun with cats (who use the floor as their litter box). Rehashing mistakes and missed chances with an accusing banter that becomes more stinging and angry as the documentary progresses, they exist in a sad codependency brings new meaning to the term dysfunctional. Disturbing and discomforting, it comes off like a freak show at times, but for all their arguments and recriminations, the Maysles reveal two women abandoned by their families who are left to cling to each other, for better or worse. --Sean Axmaker

After stoically soldiering through the HBO dramatization, and finding it very similar in tone and horrifying effect to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I decided to watch the original documentary. This I did in the very late nights on three consecutive days, letting the documentary wash over me while drifting in and out of consciousness on sleeping pills. I recommend this way of watching it. When you're knocked out on goofballs, the behaviour (excuse the spelling, I get so ruddy English when I'm drunk) ... Read More

Grey Gardens obviously has a lot of fans. The documentary did nothing for me. It is the story of a mother (Big Edie) and her daughter (you guessed it, Little Edie) who are related to Jackie Kennedy. They live in a rambling, decrepit house in the Hamptons on Long Island.
Little Edie has severe mental problems. She tells stories about her life that may or may not be true. The Edies are both codependent and engage in vicious fights. Occasionally, an outsider comes by and observes their weird ... Read More

Meet Big and Little Edith Beale. Former grand dames of the Hamptons who have lived most of their lives in their once stately home named Grey Gardens. At the time of filming, Grey Gardens is falling apart, board by board, and the Edies are living in squalor amid a bunch of cats, fleas, flies, and weeds. They spend their days eating crackers and ice cream. They don't seem to care much about their surroundings, but you can tell that they do care about each other - a sort of dysfunctional dependency if ... Read More

If you've seen the HBO film, you must watch this, the original documentary. It is absolutely intriguing. Big and Little Edie are fascinating, quirky, bizarre and hilarious. Their story is touching and poignant and a little devastating. But it's surely a captivating documentary. Not to mention historic and dramatic. I would strongly recommend!
