Watch Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

"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.

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.

Bright Lights is an illuminating look inside the homes and lives of two legends. I love Carrie Fisher cooking a soufflé for her mother Debbie Reynolds and then walking out Carrie's backdoor across their shared backyard and into her Debbie's back door to share a meal with mom. They share more than that with us. It's like sitting on their living room couch and going thru the family album, warts and all. How were they able to live thru all their tribulations? Maybe that they learned to talk about it and deal with it instead of letting if fester and burst inside. And there was laughter, and stories about other celebrities and other heartaches. But what I liked most was their humanity towards each other and that unsinkable spirit that kept them going until all energy was gone from them. What I liked least about it was these two wonderful women should have know the damage drugs, alcohol and cigarettes would do and avoided them. I heard Carrie drank up to 16 Cokes a day and I wonder if the Coke connection with her father had something to do with her addiction to sodas. And Debbie could have had someone to stop her from performing until she was ready to drop. I know it was her choice but they both could have been saved from themselves by their friends. Thank you ladies for all that you gave and shared and God Bless Todd now alone

Why does no one mention this fine documentary of both Carrie Fisher and her mother, Debbie Reynolds, that played on HBO and AFI 2016. I found it so moving and informative about their very close relationship. I'm hoping the film will be distributed widely following Carrie's premature death. What's wrong with those obit writers who don't seem to be aware of this film? An important revelation to this viewer was the musical talent Carrie exhibited. Her singing voice reflected the gifts she inherited from both Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. There may have been downsides to being the child of such celebrated parents, but she was certainly up to the task. In addition, her wry observations of herself and others was right on. Kitty A postscript following the death of Debbie Reynolds. Bright Lights gives an answer to why the symbiosis of this relationship could lead to the second death.
