Review of Grey Gardens (1976) by Torquil C — 19 Apr 2008
Heartbreaking, eerie, and hilarious often at the same time. It's almost like a real life Sunset Boulevard but with two Norma Desmonds for the price of one. The Mayles brothers let the Beales women speak for themselves rather than impose a story on their footage like so many documentarians do.
This is what makes Grey Gardens a masterpiece.
