Synopsis
Thirty-five years after the Maysles brothers' famed documentary of the same name, Grey Gardens offers awry, behind-the-scenes look at "Big Edie" and "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale, two charming eccentrics who were relatives of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis and inhabitants of a decaying mansion in the Hamptons. Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange star as the reclusive mother and daughter whose unconventional tastes and social rebellion transcended public opinion and forged a unique and unbreakable bond. Told over a span of four decades, the film, directed by Michael Sucsy from a script written by Sucsy and Patricia Rozema, focuses on their glamorous and well-heeled lives long before the making of the documentary and on the circumstances behind their riches-to-rags story.
