Drew Barrymore was fantastic in this.
I have a whole new respect for her. She spoke EXACTLY like little Edie, and even looked like her. I was completely surprised and amazed by this performance. Didn't know she had it in her. Brava!

shareI just watched this again on Netflix. If this had been a theatrical release I bet Drew Barrymore would have gotten an Oscar nomination - she was incredible.
shareI think this was a project born out of her love of Edie. She was so faithful to the way she spoke and acted. She channeled the woman.
shareI think Kate Winslet bears an uncanny resemblance to Little Edie and would like to see her in a little Edie get-up.
"Qui conduisait la voiture?"
I think Winslet would've been better too. I was surprised at how well Barrymore did, but I felt as if I was watching Barrymore impersonate Little Edie, instead of forgetting it's just a performance. I think it had a lot to do with Barrymore's lisp...I was way too focused on it. Plus, I don't think she represented how beautiful Little Edie was in her younger years.
Lange was phenomenal...no complaints there.
Overall, it was still very good.
