Grey Gardens (1975)★ 7.6/10

This is a must-watch for any self-respecting film buff, there's a reason why it became a huge hit when it was made and it wasn't because its content alone is the type of stuff I belive is what would allow us to make and appreciate stuff like Tiger King today. In that aspect, it's kind of a train-wreck you just can't look away from, but it was the early times of documentary-makers getting that up-close and personal with their subjects. There are no embellishments, no great feets of editing, but cutting itself, and that, plus the actual reality of the situation, is what puts the film together and makes us want to watch it. There's the great value of Grey Gardens.
