That summer

In Big Edie and Little Edie's old villa in the bohemian East Hampton, New York, the creativity flourish. The year is 1972 and Göran Hugo Olsson's documentary takes place a few years before the world-famous documentary Gray Gardens is recorded. It’s about mother and daughter Bouvier Beale, two eccentric women who are related to Jackie Onassis and Lee Radziwill and interact with friends such as Andy Warhol, Mick Jagger and Peter Beard. "This is never shown material that has been hidden for 45 years, and of course it's absolutely fantastic, at least for everyone who has Gray Gardens among their favorite films, but maybe for everyone else as well." Writes Katarina Wikars at Kulturnytt in P1. The newspaper Village Voice calls the documentary "invaluable".
