An assured, beautiful movie, a perfect crystallization of the endlessly fascinating story of the unconventional Beales.

You will really appreciate Drew Barrymore’s performance more if you have seen the documentary... She really nails it.

It's safe to say that this is a game-changing performance by Drew Barrymore.

Offbeat and bizarre yet extremely touching and entertaining, HBO's telefilm of love and co-dependency, inspired by the Maysles seminal 1973 docu, has narrative problems but is superbly acted by Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange.

The script hits a few bumps, but Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore are magnificent as the bizarro Beales.
