"As tender and revealing as it is completely bonkers."
The Times

Voted the 10th best documentary of all time in 2014 Sight and Sound poll


Come and celebrate half a century of cinema's finest, filthiest mother-daughter duo!

Ever since Grey Gardens premiered in 1975, successive generations of viewers have fallen in love with the stars of the documentary: Edith "Big Edie" Ewing Bouvier Beale and her daughter Edith "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale. Constantly squabbling as they knock around their dilapidated mansion in the bougie enclave of East Hampton, surrounded by cat piss-drenched clutter, the Beales have become (gay) icons of not giving a shit what the neighbours think.

Little Edie became a celebrity thanks to the film, forging a career as a cabaret star and society wit - exactly the ending to her story that this fabulous, headscarf-clad icon deserved.
 

Please mark the occasion by wearing your best Beale-inspired looks!
