Grey Gardens and Beales film restoration reviewed by Scene Stealers
Eric Melin, editor in chief of Scene Stealers, praises the 2K digital restoration of Grey Gardens on Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection, paired with The Beales of Grey Gardens. He notes the intimate, trust-based footage, dual presence of the two Beale women, and the film’s balance of humor and tragedy as a landmark portrayal of a marginal family.
