Reviews for The Beales Of Grey Gardens
A bit like wandering into a slice of life that suddenly turns into a Tennessee Williams play, with upper-class Eastern accents replacing the Southern ones.
It lacks the first movie's cohesiveness, but Grey Gardens was never a model of structure; it was more a reality show before its time, and The Beales of Grey Gardens brings us closer to the mysteries at its heart.
Catnip for the Beale cult, the film supplements but nowhere surpasses the funky charm and moldy glamour of the original.
