Rating:  - Quick and Fun.
You have to have a love for John Waters' "Edie". This is a short film. I was expecting a little more. It was interesting as it gives a quick view of Edith Massey. Documentary in style.
Rating:  - She's just amazing...
The only bad thing I have to say about this short documentary is that it's way too short! 15 minutes if that...
But, it's worth the money...get it on dvd, it's better quality.
I appreciate her because she stood out in many of John Water's films....ever seen Desperate Living? She plays a demented queen and her performance is top-notch and hilarious!
This is just a quick glimpse of her life as an orphan, a madam and other things...we see her in her second hand ... Read More

WOW... A short documentary about one of the most lovable stars in cinema... I really really liked this. Edith Massey is definately one of the most awesome ladies ever to roam the earth. This is a surprisingly sentimental documentary and extremely interesting. If you dont like the Egg Lady, Queen Carlotta, Cuddles, or any of her other characters...you should be smacked upside your head! Edith Massey was and always will be an icon for underground/indie cinema. So much class, so little teeth... ... Read More
Rating: - Worth it if you're a fan
I actually went out of my way to see this several years ago when it wasn't available on VHS, I had to rent the special edition of "Polyester" on disc to see it. It was definitely worth it. John Waters had some pretty entertaining people in his Dreamland group but Edith Massey was definitely the most loveable. I'm glad this warm hearted documentary short (15 minutes, but worth it) was made before she passed away. There's some great footage of her talking about her past as a bar-girl in her endearing ...
