Carrie Fisher's daughter talks famous family 01:40 (CNN)More heartwarming than heartbreaking, "Bright Lights" is a touching tribute to the powerful attachment between Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, a mother and daughter who, in their love for and gripes about each other, clearly left very little unsaid. HBO took the very it-is-TV-like step of moving the documentary's airdate up in the wake of the two actresses' one-day-apart deaths, seemingly to capitalize on all the media attention. But this 94-minute film, directed by Alexis Bloom and Fisher Stevens, is so lovely, life-affirming and filled with memories that given the grief expressed by fans, it feels more like a public service than crass commercialism.
