nothing short of brilliant

It's safe to say that this is a game-changing performance by Drew Barrymore.

An assured, beautiful movie, a perfect crystallization of the endlessly fascinating story of the unconventional Beales.

Offbeat and bizarre yet extremely touching and entertaining, HBO's telefilm of love and co-dependency, inspired by the Maysles seminal 1973 docu, has narrative problems but is superbly acted by Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange.

[Drew Barrymore] is fantastic in this film.

You will really appreciate Drew Barrymore’s performance more if you have seen the documentary... She really nails it.

The movie would almost doubtlessly have garnered Oscar nominations for its two stars had it been released theatrically.

Drew is never less than intoxicating and heartbreaking, as a maximum security gilded cage fantasy screen goddess hermit womanchild, wandering around in minks and creatively accessorized rags. Brother, Can You Spare A Diamond Tiara.

The script hits a few bumps, but Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore are magnificent as the bizarro Beales.
