Before Carrie Fisherleft us last week, followed by Debbie Reynoldsthe next day, the mother and daughter duo appeared in a documentary titled Bright Lights.
The documentary follows Fisher and Reynolds, who actually lived next door to each other, looking at their lives and relationship. It premiered at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, and has also screened at other film festivals to critical praise. Alexis Bloom and Fisher Stevens directed the film. And yes, it’s that Fisher Stevens, star of the great Short Circuit (among many other things) and Academy Award winner for another documentary you might have heard of: The Cove.
You can find more information on Bright Lights below, along with a brief clip from the documentary.
BRIGHT LIGHTS: STARRING CARRIE FISHER AND DEBBIE REYNOLDS has already received audience and critical acclaim at many prestigious film festivals, including the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, the Telluride Film Festival and the New York Film Festival.
No one could have expected such a devastating end to the story of these two wonderful women. But thankfully we can, in a way, spend a little bit more time with them through this.
