8. I did. It was excellent
Have you seen the Maysles documentary? This was more sympathetic mostly because you met them before they became the weird ladies living in a wreck and they were more rounded as humans . Interestingly this movie answered one of the big questions I had from the documentary when Drew said something like "only in East Hampton do you have to pay for someone to pick up the garbage". Of course. I wondered in the documentary why someone couldn't just put out the garbage, why they lived in the midst of piles of it, but they couldn't establish a dump on their own property without violating ordinances and they could not afford garbage pickup. Having said that they had obviously become oblivious to clutter and to filth over the years. That business about putting paper on the dirty chairs in fact happened INSIDE the house, in the kitchen. I wonder how Edie made out on her own ...she did not seem in either the documentary or this film like a woman who could survive running her own life.
