David F 07/14/2023 While it doesn't pack the emotional punch of ‘Grey Gardens', this supplementary film expands on and enriches some of the themes and stories from that earlier documentary. It is a wonderful complement to one of the greatest documentaries ever made. See more dave s 05/30/2022 Consisting entirely of outtakes from its predecessor Grey Gardens from three decades earlier, The Beales of Grey Gardens again examines the lives of ‘Big' Edie Beale and ‘Little' Edie Beale, an eccentric mother and daughter duo living in a decrepit mansion in East Hampton, New York. The documentary follows the duo's superficial stream of consciousness ramblings as they meander through their seemingly meaningless days, channeling what feels like the delusions of screen characters like Blanche Dubois and Norma Desmond. While it tends to be repetitive (‘Little' Edie's singing performances, for example) and not as fresh as the original movie, The Beales of Grey Gardens provides an insight into mental illness that has rarely been captured so vividly on film.

See more 12/04/2016 Pretty much the same as the original Grey Gardens, just like a extended version. But, it somehow help building the entire picture around them, supplementing with additional information and a broader perspective. Every scene is a new dress and a new look, actually making Edie a icon of fashion. See more 05/17/2014 Probably could have left it alone after the first one, but still interesting and worth the watch. See more 11/04/2012 An extra look at the lives of two outrageous individuals, with footage worthy of being in the original piece, but superb as it is in clips. See more Read all reviews
