This film was absolutely wonderful. If you didn't like it, chances are you're not familiar with the 1973 documentary about these two, very real, tragic leftovers of American aristocracy.
Drew Barrymore's and Jessica Lange's portrayal of Little Edie and Big Edie were spot on. It was a bit spooky how close they resembled the actual women.
It's an engaging look at how a fall from grace can happen so slowly and subtly that it is hardly noticed by the very people who have fallen — living in such squalid conditions of which they never could have imagined in their younger, more affluent days.
A beautiful, heartbreaking story.
