I never knew that Drew Barrymore had this in her. Her performance in "Grey Gardens" is electrifying and inspiring. She is so tragically beautiful in this examination of two women who loose everything. Barrymore's performance is so tragic and desperate. Jessica Lange's character nurtures Barrymore's descent into despair in the role of an over-zealous mother, without much of an idea of what is truly best for her daughter.
The bond between Barrymore and Lange is untouchable, stronger than most bonds in on-screen pairings. The pair are quirky, divine, and glamorous, even as their wealth and dignity are forcefully ripped from them. It is truly a struggle to maintain character.
Jeanne Tripplehorn's turn as Jackie-O is quite notable as well. She plays a wonderful opposite to the decaying Lange and Barrymore.
This film is truly beautiful and tragic, but is delightful to watch and will be enjoyed for ages.
