Catnip for the Beale cult, the film supplements but nowhere surpasses the funky charm and moldy glamour of the original.

Deserves a thoughtful look-and a lively argument.

Little Edie models her strange getups, studies an astrology paperback through a magnifying glass, holds forth on the horrors of alcohol and the strength of her Catholic faith, and delivers numerous spontaneous singing performances.

Fans of the first film will want to see this extension, though it stands equally well on its own as a portrait of thwarted, headstrong women trapped in a degraded present and borne back ceaselessly into the past.
