It's so strange that in the original doc, there's a scene where the director was talking to lil' Edie about actresses that can play her and her mother if there were a movie made about them. He suggests Drew's grand aunt, Ethel Barrymore, in the role of big Edie.
tell me why for the first, like 8 seconds, I was 100% sure this was some kind of digitally re-mastered version of the original documentary...Holy moly makeup department deserves all the awards.
Sadly the only reason I know about these women is bc of Jinxx Monsoon portraying Little Edie in Snatch Game on RuPaul’s Drag Race! I’m looking forward to the movie tho 🙈
Sadly the only reason I know about these women is because of the Sandy Passage parody that Bill Hader and Fred Armisen did of them on Documentary Now! While it was absolutely hilarious and I laughed throughout the whole thing, the ending was so disturbing that I just HAD to watch the actual documentary because I thought that’s what actually happened 🙄 I’m an idiot
I don’t found that sad, I think is wonderful that people from new generations like Jinxx Monsoon are able to introduced other people from new generations to this beautiful gems, since the older generations didn’t have the same resources that we do now is up to us.
I don’t know why but I rented this movie from the library when I was 19. I was a strange old soul. Really difficult to explain to friends after making a reference at the time.
They both acted so incredibly in this film. I had never heard of them until I stumbled upon the documentary one time and then when I saw the film I was just amazed at how well they portrayed the characters.
I just watched the original Grey Gardens documentary this morning for the first time, and am now checking out this movie trailer. Drew Barrymore did an absolutely uncanny portrayel of little Edie, wow! Jessica Lange also did a phenomenal job as big Edie, but something about Drew's performance was just SO spot on!❤
This documentary was and is ,the BEST out there..So Raw..So real..SO ENTERTAINING.. I can watch it over and over and NEVER tire of it.. EXTRAORDINARY PIECE OF ART💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
The documentary"Grey Gardens" is a must see as well as "The Beales of Grey gardens" and "That Summer".. Ive watched all 3 docs dozens of times and I hope this movie does them justice.
I love both documentaries and this film. Drew and Jessica added such an emotional touch. I love it all. If I had all the money in the world I’d buy that house.
It’s very interesting reading about who did buy it, look it up! :) I’ve wasted way too much time randomly researching this family’s history & the house’s... being from the South only having visited New York once the NYC ways of life both in the past & present are so foreign yet fascinating to me lol
You would need quite some money. I think it was listed recently for 22 million dollars and it was restored in the 90s when someone purchased it from Little Edie and just a few years ago again. You can find both house tours her on TH-cam.
This was fantastic! I remember watching its debut and buying the DVD when it came out. Too bad this was only a TV movie. Otherwise Drew could have been an Oscar winner
I always loved drew Barrymore as a personality however never thought she was a good actress…until this movie. Drew was absolutely fantastic! Jessica Lange..well…is one of the best actresses of all time….personally my favorite actress in my lifetime.
My mom showed me this years before Jinkx portrayed her on Snatch game. Everyone hates on Big Edie, but if it weren't for Big Edie, Little Edie would have had nowhere to go. By the time Little Edie moved back home she was considered a "used up spinster". Her mother loved and cared for her very much and even tried setting her up with different rich men. But they were both very codependent on each other, and they both struggled with mental illness. But they were all each other had.
Petty Labelle maybe she was a lesbian, or asexual. I don’t know, but I would react like that, not being able to find the “right guy” if I weren’t even into guys (which I’m not, I like girls), or if I was asexual. Also, I understand how mental illness can cause you to be very selective, or not wanting to (like at all), with love or sex. Also, being lesbian without even knowing it. It was like that, for me, foe several years, with my trans identity. Me being a trans man I mean. I have been a guys for all those years, without even realizing it. But then I came out about who I am, in reality, for real.
If I haven’t had words for my sexuality, and/or gender identity, I would’ve probably been an old spinster myself (eventually), like in the past where there weren’t words for it, surgeries or stuff like that. I would’ve become and old spinster who’s just old and lonely, and made to think I’m someone, that I’m not. I mean, yes she could be straight (heterosexual), and cisgendered. But why then turning down all the men that came, if you’re not gay, the gender is right. Like, sometime you’ve got to find someone right. But if that time never comes, maybe you’re not into guys. (At least makes sense, in my head. :$ )
@@Doglover-qc1uo I'm a trans woman so I understand what you're saying. I think it was more that she wanted to be an actress. However she was living in kind of like a group home type of place in New York where other girls who were trying to be actresses lived. She didn't feel the rush to marry because she had aspirations of being famous. However her mother could no longer afford to send her money to support her in New York and she had to move back home. They then became quite codependent on each other.
Petty Labelle oh, I see. But anyhow, if I were around and she made a move, I’ve read in her body language that she’s into me or similar, I wouldn’t have said no. I’m sure she had many female, as well as male admirers ^^ :) Cis, trans, don’t matter. Admirers, plain and simple. She seemed like such a spectacular woman, well, for her time also. (Which was the ‘60s-‘70s =) ), the only one I can come up with, that was so spectacular, peculiar, beautiful in her own way, funny in some ways and also charismatic, that would be Cher, in the ‘70s-‘80s, I feel. Also Michelle Obama, or Oprah Winfrey. Cat woman, in the Batman from the ‘60s =) and a Swedish icon of the late ‘90s to early ‘00s -at least for us kids/tennagers watching-, that was Grynet. Played by the amazing actress Elin Ek. =) I fell in-love with her. Those were the super power women I could come up with. But also Little Edie herself, of course. Edie =)
@@Doglover-qc1uo Yes she sure was a character! Much beloved by our community and way ahead of her time. I'm glad she got her happy ending to a degree after Grey Gardens came out.
I’ve seen the original documentary just last year during quarantine. I had heard it referenced, but didn’t know it’s impact. A school superintendent I used to help clean house and pool for would joke how her and her live-in mother were “a regular Grey Gardens around here”. I’ve also recently watched and rewatched the Documentary Now spoof with amazing performances by Armisen and Hader. I had no idea there was an actual movie made about them or that Drew Barrymore was chosen to play one of the most eccentric documentary characters ever, but by the trailer alone I want to give Drew all the awards and apologize for what I’ve thought of her before. I need to see this movie.
What an amazing discovery of this film after seeing the original Gray Gardens the other night. And all because I went sailing on Sunday with Albert Maysles' son who is friends with a filmmaker friend who was mentored by Albert and friends till he passed.... Small world....
Her parents aren't really famous. Her grandfather and his siblings were. She was the granddaughter of one of the best Shakespearean actors in American stage, John Barrymore
I only seen a few parts of Jessica lange +Drew Barrymore when the movie was completed .Im looking foward to when it comes out .They both played their parts so well especially Drew who played Edie .Rest in peace to The real Edie And her mother.Godbless them .🙏🕊🕊🕊🕊🦋🦋🦋🦋🌹🌹🌹🌹💐💐💐💐🐬🐬🐬🐬🕊🦋🌹AMEN
In their youth, both Big Edie and Little Edie were very beautiful. I don’t understand how you can be born rich and grow up beautiful and still end up in that situation.
Where have I been? I haven't heard about Grey Gardens. It seemed intriguing but also 'real life' for them. A place I wouldn't want to occupy physically and in my mind. I need to see documentary and movie.
A very disappointing film regarding facts. It made the audience believe that Eddie had a total nervous breakdown because she had an affair with a married man and he dumped her. Missed out that she was then engaged to 2 very reputable men but broke the engagements. Then the film portrayed her as a total nutcase just screaming and acting crazy. Maybe a fun film for those who don’t love facts but I stopped watching after the second breakdown (which didn’t happen in real life). Shame they couldn’t stick to facts.
Amazing movie but one thing bothers me that is even shown in the trailer. I bet Little Edie would have never said something like "I was the golden girl, I'd have become the first lady and not you." I have seen an interview with her recently where a very young interviewer asks her just that and she replied with absolutely no regret "Oh nooo." He also tried to pressure her into talking bad about others and Edie *never* once did that. She was kind and respectful and not bitter and envious. Such a nice lady. This portrayal of her bugs me.
I wish I had seen this while I still had HBO Go. I only knew about Grey gardens because of documentary now. I don’t really know to much about the story but it seems kind of depressing to see these women that once had it all, fall into a life of poverty and squalor

Drew was pure gold in this. She captured little Edie perfectly
She did a good job but real little Edie was so beautiful even as an older eccentric shut in
They both acted so incredibly in this film. I had never heard of them until I stumbled upon the documentary one time and then when I saw the film I was just amazed at how well they portrayed the characters.

It was quite a scandal actually
With my cousin in law really
It was in all the magazines at the time
😂
she just seizures (sp?)
i cant tell if its the pâté or giblets for the cats
I can't tell if it's pate or if it's jiblets for the cats! It's monsoon season mother darling
Every award should have been given to these two. The performances are legendary.
With Drew’s issues with her mother, I understand why she chose this. What a beautiful empathy
The best of Drew’s career. She was sensational and never looked more spectacular
Drew Barrymore was phenomenal in this I don't know if she want an award but she should have
She won a Golden Globe and a SAG and was nominated for an Emmy, which Jessica Lange won.
Drew was amazing, great performance.
Jeanne Tripplehorn's cameo as Jackie O was truly phenomenal...the best I've ever seen! Seriously underrated actress.
Unbelievable, I was wondering who it was!
"If you're stuck Edie it's only with yourself!". That was good direct advice from Big Edie.
Sad situation but a very good movie. Props to Jessica and Drew. Awesome job representing these two women
This documentary was and is ,the BEST out there..So Raw..So real..SO ENTERTAINING.. I can watch it over and over and NEVER tire of it.. EXTRAORDINARY PIECE OF ART💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Finally saw the documentary last night - can't wait to buy the Blu-Ray! 😍🤩
I've always been "mad about the Maysles" lol
I just love the make-up with Jessica throughout, they really managed to age her
How comes this movie went out in 2009 and I never watched it?? Looks great!
typo, presumably
I love it.
Outstanding performance💜
Yes, 2009, I believe.
True mon cheri - it's devine and I never had a sniff of it until now...Happy distractions are like jewels.
The documentary"Grey Gardens" is a must see as well as "The Beales of Grey gardens" and "That Summer".. Ive watched all 3 docs dozens of times and I hope this movie does them justice.
The two of them look incredible and the voices! Gotta catch this for sure.
Drew was amazing and unbelievable. She won the Golden Globe and deserved it❤
This movie was spectacular. Jessica Lange is simply amazing
it was almost obligatory to me watching the documentary before this one. It's something magical to see in that order.
Drew Barrymore is incredible
Drew Barrymore was exceptional as Little Edie. I didnt think she had the talent to pull this part off....BUT SHE DID & SHE WAS FABULOUS!!
They nailed these roles. Especially Jessica Lang. Wow.
I haven't seen this since it first aired 10 years ago. Loved Drew's portrayal of Edie in the scene describing The Outfit of the Day, sigh.
Amazing performances...such a sad story. They both did an amazing character study. 👏
They were both transcendent in these roles. It was SO well done
I love both documentaries and this film. Drew and Jessica added such an emotional touch. I love it all. If I had all the money in the world I’d buy that house.
It’s very interesting reading about who did buy it, look it up! :) I’ve wasted way too much time randomly researching this family’s history & the house’s... being from the South only having visited New York once the NYC ways of life both in the past & present are so foreign yet fascinating to me lol
@@lizzie354 FELLOW SOUTHERNER...AGREED....FOREIGN AND FASCINATING🦚
Yeah, the house was restored and looks amazing again! Look it up :)
@@claufelippio8401 I'm so glad it's been restored! Made it's "comeback" as Edie would say... 😄🥰

They did excellent with casting!
Just watched this on Amazon prime video. Phenomenally fascinating and well acted!
I always loved drew Barrymore as a personality however never thought she was a good actress…until this movie. Drew was absolutely fantastic!
Jessica Lange..well…is one of the best actresses of all time….personally my favorite actress in my lifetime.
This is an awesome remake! If you watch the trailer for the original you see how well Jessica and Drew portray these 2 women. 😊
Best I've ever seen Drew in. I'm obsessed with the Edie gals since the documentary. Music reminds me of my mom & my grandmother singing 💕 😢
Jessica Lange & Drew Barrymore are a treasure
They did an amazing job playing these parts
Omg Drew looks STUNNING here!!!!!
Two of the best acting performances ever shown in all movies ever made! Truly these two became them! Unbelievable performances!!
Still love Drew in this one. I hope one day...the rest of the story will be told.

Drew was Edie! Wow what a beautiful performance
Jesus the characterization is outstanding

Drew was .. Amazing in THIS film... she WAS. Eadie...... just my opinion 😊
Such a classic! One of my favs.
Drew maybe have gotten famous just because of her parents... but she really found her talent over the years
i thought she got famous because she was cute as a button in a little well known movie called e.t. ,havent got a clue who are parents are
Drew comes from a family tree of actors @@jayefranklin9593
Her parents aren't really famous. Her grandfather and his siblings were. She was the granddaughter of one of the best Shakespearean actors in American stage, John Barrymore

Its because you stomp!!
Bill Hader & Fred Armisen in Sandy Passage is *chefs kiss*. 😍😊.
Drew Barrymore killed this role. She did an excellent job.

Couldn't choose two better actresses for this part

Buckets!!! 😢😢😢
One of the Best movie's ever made and outstanding performance💜
I just wished this was a movie, Drew would have gotten the oscar. Also wished Jessica's singing voice was better because Big Edie was a real singer.
This was a movie.
@@VinMar-m6w ..released in teathers.
Wow! I watched the Documentary before I discovered this film. Quite a reenactment.
I love Drew!
But I admire Jessica Lange. Love everything Jessica Lange does.
In their youth, both Big Edie and Little Edie were very beautiful. I don’t understand how you can be born rich and grow up beautiful and still end up in that situation.
Their mind kept them back
They filmed this near my home. I’m such a huge fan of Jessica Lange
‘Mother darling’.....love it!
I'm so glad I got away from my mum and didn't throw my life away
how am I only just discovering this movie 15 years later?!!!!! 🤯
Love the documentary, little had good fashion .
And mother got rid of him in 15 minutes
Прекрасный фильм, браво!!!
Drew in vintage style looks like her aunt Diana Barrymore
Drew Barrymore was very good in this!
the only reason i know about this is bc of bill hader and documentary now

OMG!!! Beautiful and misterious family's history!!!
JESSICA LANGE MEU AMOOOORRR❤❤❤❤❤❤
This looks fantastic!
Drew is fucking beautiful
Lange and Drew were excellent!
The ancestor of "Hoarders".
sometime i wonder.. why life is so tragic for some people.. then it hit me.. can happen to me too
Here because of Jinkx Monsoon :D
Bill Hader and Fred Armisen's Documentary Now brought me here.
This makes me GreyHappy!
Jessica Lange in something outside of horror I think I'll give this a chance.
I love this movie ..
Incredibly eye opening
My mom and I are soulmates like that , we have seen similar days
❤️❤️❤️for little edie
I can't watch it, their fall from grace is too difficult to endure.
Lil Edie forever!!!
A very disappointing film regarding facts. It made the audience believe that Eddie had a total nervous breakdown because she had an affair with a married man and he dumped her. Missed out that she was then engaged to 2 very reputable men but broke the engagements. Then the film portrayed her as a total nutcase just screaming and acting crazy. Maybe a fun film for those who don’t love facts but I stopped watching after the second breakdown (which didn’t happen in real life). Shame they couldn’t
stick to facts.
What a history!
Amazing movie but one thing bothers me that is even shown in the trailer. I bet Little Edie would have never said something like "I was the golden girl, I'd have become the first lady and not you." I have seen an interview with her recently where a very young interviewer asks her just that and she replied with absolutely no regret "Oh nooo." He also tried to pressure her into talking bad about others and Edie *never* once did that. She was kind and respectful and not bitter and envious. Such a nice lady. This portrayal of her bugs me.
spelling?
