Matt Greene "Age is hard for everyone, but she falls from a greater height." These two Hollywood heavyweights are such likable subjects, and their unique relationship is impossible not to admire. It's an interesting look at how big-time show business interacts with a family caught in the eye of it. And, of course, it's even more powerful knowing this mother and daughter died within days of each other, and only weeks before this movie's release. A nice little film artifact for anyone still enamored by movie stars.

kz917-1 The HBO documentary Bright Lights about the relationship of Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher came out after both women passed away. The film also touches on Reynolds relationship with her son Todd Fisher and briefly mentions Carrie Fisher's daughter Billie Lord.The documentary captures several intimate moments between mother and daughter and several zany comedic moments as well. These two ladies will be greatly missed and this was a lovely portrait of them both.

edwagreen Terrific documentary detailing the lives of Debbie Reynolds and daughter Carrie Fisher.Their lives intertwining, they were inseparable as they went through life with hard times abounding.Debbie's collection of the costumes worn by the stars in films was a real revelation to see.She certainly was unsinkable as she was in her only Oscar nominated performance in "The Unsinkable Molly Brown." (1964). A real trouper as the documentary showed her deterioration, but her stamina and zest for living should serve as inspiration to all of us.In certain scenes, Carrie looked older with that throaty voice and demeanor. Brother Todd Fisher was also in it and clips of Eddie Fisher revealed that he was rarely around after his marriage to Liz Taylor.

pphh32001 I enjoyed this documentary very much, having been a huge fan of Debbie Reynolds my whole life. When I was young, my mother used to take me to see all of her movies, and the first time I was ever in a movie theater, I saw "Bundle of Joy", one of my favorites.However, the most enjoyable part of this documentary for me was the opening credits (if I remember correctly) when they were playing a recording of Eddie Fisher, Carrie and Todd's father. I didn't recognize the song, but I was totally moved by his beautiful voice. Voices like that are very rare, and it just saddens me that with the usual fall into obscurity for performers, as Carrie Fisher points out, it made a more rapid decline in his case due to his personal life choices. Yet, for just a few moments, I could be enraptured and carried away by the sound of his beautiful voice and musicality.
