Grey Gardens

I watched this movie feeling a little ill. If my life got hard, if I gave up, then this would be my fate.
 
Big and little Eddie Bouvier, a 75 year old mother and her 56 year old daughter live in a decaying mansion on the ocean. Years ago they were on their way up. The mother was a successful singer. The daughter a model. The, the mother rejected her daughters suitors, and the daughter moved home to take care of the mother. Twenty years later, it's like they are stuck. Still bickering about men, and their near fame. The mansion and surrounding Grey Gardens are falling apart, overwhelmed by trees, raccoons and cats.
