Title: A Trip to Nowhere
Review: Grey Gardens obviously has a lot of fans. The documentary did nothing for me. It is the story of a mother (Big Edie) and her daughter (you guessed it, Little Edie) who are related to Jackie Kennedy. They live in a rambling, decrepit house in the Hamptons on Long Island.Little Edie has severe mental problems. She tells stories about her life that may or may not be true. The Edies are both codependent and engage in vicious fights. Occasionally, an outsider comes by and observes their weird behavior. That's it - nothing else happens in this film.The directors deserve credit for allowing the Edies to tell their own stories. However, the lack of a narrative causes Grey Gardens to meander along the road to nowhere.
