I liked Lange's performance, but wasn't really satisfied with Barrymore's. The recreations of the actual documentary were ok, but I suspect that since I've seen her on screen since she was a little girl, I had a problem with her Drewisms: in particular, the way she pronounces some of her words with a Californian dialect.

I'm sure she worked hard, but it's hard for me to see Drew Barrymore in a film and not see her as the character of Drew that she built for herself.

I was reduced to tears by Lange's riveting performance in this film. She truly became 'Big Edie' What a gifted performer. Lange's talent as an artist is unmatched.
