The Reel Review
Anyone who has seen the 1975 documentary about Edith and Little Edie Beale, the eccentric socialites-turned-recluses, must see HBO’s 2009 film, which adds a fascinating perspective into the earlier years of their lives at their now famous East Hampton estate, incorporating flashbacks to capture their gradual decline due to mental illness and codependency. Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore both bring astounding accuracy and poignant vulnerability to their roles, giving a much needed deeper understanding behind the original documentary.
