Review of Grey Gardens (1976) by Michael D — 02 Jan 2016

Review In A Nutshell:

Grey Gardens is a fascinating documentary about these two women, a mother and her daughter, living in a poorly conditioned home. The film objectively documents their relationship and current lifestyle, but within the gaps finds the core heart of these individuals, dwelling about the past and how their decisions have impacted their future. The film does a great job in keeping the film's emotions feel genuine, driven mostly by its dialogue. The film also resolved itself appropriately; maintaining my interest, wanting to go back and find the subtlety of these characters. I have kept this review short due to my inefficiency and lack of experience in reviewing documentaries. All in all, watch this film for its absorbing characters and hard hitting dialogue.
