Grey Gardens: Interview with Drew Barrymore & Jessica Lange (HBO)

[Messylin]

Drew is way off base calling this a "love story". They had an abusive relationship enabling the very worst aspects of one another. They had a horrendous life.

[trishok100]

I'm living on a farm in SA where "the Fabulous High Life of the Heiress who couldn't say no- to" A Lion in my bedroom". Pat Cavendish O'Neill lives with her Chimp Kalu, her baboons, many dogs & cats, peacocks too!!! There is a movie to be made here too!!

[Neopisivo]

This is such amazing movie...It made me think about my mother and I,honestly, I don't want to ever end up like little and big Edie. I think that my mother would kick me out of house if I won't move out until I turn 25.

[kneecoal777]

This should have been in theaters!

And both of them should have had Oscar's for this!

[kory9]

Jessica and Drew Perfect Duo for the part. Beautiful acting. Incredible story.

[ANGELSVEN]

both actors were incredible.

[hcmontessori]

What year was this movie made?

[Mike6E]

@hcmontessori 2009.

[ellaiine4]

How could you not fall in Love with them...Edie never let her Spirits down..I would have Loved to have spent the day with them..

[bbha84]

i saw the film a few months ago on tv....it was amazing!! and then the documentary was on the same channel right after the movie....and i was stunned,...makes u cry but u end up falling in love with the whole thing. i wish they ddnt go thru what they had to go thru....but that was their kismet :-( at least they were happy in their own frames of mind

[cat4fab]

this was the best i've seen Drew Barrymore act. she was just fantastic. but Jessica Lange blew me away! the scene where she was singing while combing her hair was unforgettable.

[jubellation]

These two beautiful ladies did a tremendous job portraying Big Edie and Little Edie.

A moving story that always brings a tear or two to my eyes.

Saw the doco movie first.........utterly mesmerizing......then the movie...............wow how extrordinary! Gave much more of an isight as to how and where it all began and why things went the way they did! Where are their Oscars?

[Gem5771]

WONDERFUL FILM!!!!

[natesot]

I swear jessica lang is one of the most amzing looking and working woman, Drew just blew me away but my god jessica we miss you.

[DavidRobertLaman]

I saw the "Grey Gardens" documentary a few years ago and was touched, and I just saw the "Grey Gardens" movie on HBO last night. Drew showed that being a gifted thespian is genetic. She blew me away (as did Jessica Lange). Holy smoke! She didn't act, she became. She disappeared into her character. It was a Meryl Streep calibur performance.

[elsieno1]

fantastic,amazing,original and so much more,the film of the documentary was brilliant.thoroughly recommend to anyone who has yet to see it.i was "wide eyed" just as drew said.never seen 2 actresses get their real life characters so accurate.oscars for you both.

[fataig]

I had the pleasure of watching the documentary and the film back to back last night on TV. I wouldn't be a big TV watcher but, " This was "Just Fantastic".

Im soooo glad i watched this interaction between 2 beautiful wonderful women.

I felt a sadness in my heart for both of them. Miss Lange/ Miss Barrymore, you were joyous and wonderful to watch. I applaud you both.

Namaste.

[TheLadyjazzy1]

drew won big!!!! yay!!! GOLDEN GLOBE BABY!!

[TudorRose85]

Drew perfected the long island accent!

[sm6161]

and that is why Lange got the Emmy.

[marginallymental]

As an acting exercize, it's brilliant. But WHY? Why not just view the documentary? It's incredibly moving.

[sherribailey75]

just different ways of telling the story. there's room for both and both entertain and enthrall in different ways.

[househeadericmd]

this was a brilliant depection of the depths of mental illness and codependency among two very intelligent women..... powerful... moving...... i loved it!!!

[VercingetorixXIII]

I just cannot understand why big edies sons and lil edies brothers didnt help them, did anyone ever find an answer for that?

[rhymeandreasoning]

each and every one of us live in our own Grey Gardens..whether rich or poor...the world you create for yourself around you is your own GG

[dirkbogarde44]

How true.

[kevinwayte]

Most unusually, I saw the HBO movie first. I never even knew about the original from 1976. But the trailer for this HBO movie hooked me. I saw its premiere broadcast. The personal drama of this special story is so powerful and touching, I was awestruck. That is when I learned it was based on the fact there was a 1976 doc. THEN I saw the original 1976 documentary.. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was yes REAL! At that moment Drew & Lessica's performace floored me. W-O-W

[emtyhanded]

i saw the documentary before the show and i cant believe how dead on these woman got it.. especially lange as big edie omg she totally had me thinking it was big edie at some parts it was so accurate.. drew was amazing in her portrayal they both will get nominations and hopefully win

[tomdoll]

I was totally mesmerized watching this, i could not

take my eyes off the television. Both Drew and

Jessica deserve oscars, emmy's every award

possible for the portrayal of these two

fascinating women.

[FunKills1969]

Just watched the full "movie". I'm so sad. I wish there was a way to "unwatch" things. They stole everything, direct Maysles Brother's shots were used, direct lines were ripped off like lip synch; Drew Barrymore in Little Edie drag, ruining it for everyone. Couldn't these morons even come up with their own dialogue? How could this happen?  Albert and David Maysles' masterpiece original reduced to a mediocre ego-stroke of a movie. Drew, you petulant little vampire, you need a good talking to.

[downlowkihei]

so basically you think they should have made up a fake story to tell a true story?

[niklemons]

Hope they Win the EMMY although i read that they will compete both for LEAD, and that may left both without chances if the vote splits...

[LeonardodiserPier]

Jessica Lange deserves an Oscar for this!

[MackenzieKenziegrl]

I am in awe of the movie and the Doc wow these women are so complex almost make me sad to see how beautiful they were an dto see them in the doc ! that is so quicly the mind can take before you go into survial mode. That is basicaly what they did. they are wonderful loving women and they did the best they could!

[Creeeeeeeep]

cannot wait to watch this film

[Byroney38]

i saw the movie...lange and barrymore are simply outstanding..i dare say they both deserve awards...the story is riveting as well....

[rscmrcmd]

All my life the song 'Tea For Two' only seemed silly and it wasn't until I watched the documentary and saw Big Edie transported and in ecstacy by the song that I understood it. My jaw dropped when I saw Jessica Lange recreate the exact same moment in the the HBO movie. She really is the best actress in America I think.

[qtkat29]

This movie was exaclty just that Epic. Drew and Jessica did an amazing job mimicing the real people.

[texrah]

I ordered HBO just to see this too! With such high expectations going into it, I was completely floored. Drew just NAILED it and Jessica Lange was tremendous as well. Such a brilliant movie!

[tomovox]

texrah, it's amazing- I too ordered HBO for the sole purpose of this movie, which, to be honest, I didn't even really want to see. I had a friend who wanted to watch it, so I figured, sure, why not? Well, to date, I've watched this movie about 6 times and each time I find something more fascinating about it. I find it very difficult not to continue puzzling over the "whys" and "hows" long after my dvr has been turned off. Drew and Lange- I liked them both before, now I'm in LOVE with them!

[medavog]

The movie breaks every artistic ground that anyone would like to break or be part of, As a follower of Cult and underground movies and a follower of Grey Gardens since my youth, owner of rare couture worn by Edie and knowledgeable of vintage couture, This movie should make every drag queen,fashion designer, etc, etc, Read More proud, that HBO believes in what we are all after what Andy Warhol said, 15 minutes of fame.

and for all of you who think i am fkd up watch Royce on ' you Know NOTHING!

[zeelove8]

i really want to see this, it looks sooooo good...******

[Pug1311]

I got HBO today for this movie event. It was astonishing.

[sunfighter86]

these two are spot on!

[backto1960]

interesting.

[edithlop]

{tear tear}...=[ I truly want to see this movie but i dont have cable to see HBO!... I Really Really hope someones posts it on YouTube... if anyone does PLEASE let me know!...thanx!...

[elizabethfaraone]

I don't have cable TV.....so, let me know if anyone posts it on youtube......I'm waiting with baited breath.......

[joannemclean23]

[masterpeixoto]

Hmmm this looks like it could be good!

[MosesAron]
