GREY GARDENS is an American classic.
January 04, 2007
Grey Gardens became a cult film in the '70s, when mavericks and outsiders were the heroes and heroines and the Beales were valued for their alternative world and their priceless eccentricity.

Richly detailed and boundlessly evocative, even at its most claustrophobic.

The Maysles and the Beales are equally culpable in giving the film its goon-show edge, which undoubtedly accounts for its pull on some audiences.
March 05, 2015
Watch 'Grey Gardens' long enough and the question of exploitation drops, leaving potential victims to become real people.

As tender and revealing as it is completely bonkers.

Classic ...
March 05, 2015
Old-money outcasts, or dropouts by lifestyle choice, the Beale ladies are not condescended to, smirked at or exhibited.

The beauty of this film is the dignity it imparts to the Beales, trapped in their pasts. They failed to launch, yet paradoxically, they continue to fly so high.
March 02, 2015
Rarely have high spirits and theatrical energy seemed like such a tragic waste; an era and its myths seem to be dying on-screen in real time.

Edith and Edie are like a toxic vaudeville team, joined not just by blood but affinity. They're three parts folie a deux to two parts shtick.

The film resists a focus on the eponymous house's restoration, instead representing the women's chaotic lives as a non-linear series of moments.
