I have a new-found respect for Drew Barrymore’s acting ability. Impressive

Jessica Lange is always reliable but Drew Barrymore was a revelation!

Drew Barrymore is a fvcking treasure. I mean she nailed the sh!t outta this role. The pronunciation, the accent, the inflection of the voice, the mannerisms, etc. Amazing

Little Edie should of been a fashion designer or editor instead of trying to become an actor. She definitely had an eye for fashion

Amazing the way they are both practically word for word. I'm so glad they did the documentary justice. I loved Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange in this. Very well done and a great tribute to Little Edie and Big Edie.

I hate when the mother says she’s lived alone for 30 years... as if she doesn’t even view Little Edie as a person, but instead as an extension of herself. Just awful.

It’s almost eerie how spot on they are and how much the house looks like the real thing. Like many have said the house is a character in itself.

Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange were just BRILLIANT in this 'Documentary,' just BRILLIANT!!!!

I love how actors like Jessica and Drew are able to take dialogue from an existing documentary and heighten the emotion in a way that only an actor can do.

Queen Jessica Lange in that scene of her singing is spot on !!! Wonderful she must’ve studied every mannerism every note every movement for days !!

UNBELIEVABLE!! Drew deserved an OSCAR! As did Jessica!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@misled1982 5 years ago

When Jessica Lange sings...you can't even tell them apart! it was done almost identical!

This one of the best tv movies ever made, having seen the documentary before the movie was made, you can just see how much time, effort and dedication has gone into the movie. One of my personal favourites. Jessica Lange is amazing. Drew got a lot of bad comments BEFORE the movie was made. They all ate their words when it was screened. Love this movie do much.

I always feel sad when i watch the documentary, little edie had so much potential. But it shows her loyalty to her mother, she was a good daughter to her mother.

I was really surprised when she took that role. Not as an actor - I knew she could do that - but to transform such a signature voice as her own into an equally recognizable one. Drew nailed this.

I just finished watching the movie after having watched the original doc a couple weeks ago. This is one of a Drew’s finest performances. I thought both the doc and movie were extraordinary, the same I feel about this comparison. Excellent YouTube video, and I’m so delighted that I stumbled across it.

Little Edie was a staunch character!!

I never knew Drew Barrymore had such range as an actress 😳 I see her now as a with new eyes and a huge amount of respect for her talent.

Oh my gosh the movie did such such an amazing job of replicating the real life figures.
