Goanna L @Goannalegs 2 days ago From a women's perspective, this movie was profound in depicting the experience of; mental illness, incest and sexual abuse, grief and loss of siblings, by a lost young female caught up in the drugs and free sex era of the 60s when the birth control pill is becoming very available and men are a given free reign. Such a tragic true life story showing wealth is not a benefit, a parent's love is. Guy Pearce was fantastic as a queer, truly believable, while Sienna was fantastic, emotionally unfolding in front of the screen - it must have been a demanding role to embody so well. 5 stars for them. 3 1/2 overall. A good movie to put on a high school curriculum I think - there are so many layers to discuss and explore around drugs, sex, mental health, suicide, homosexuality, queers, friendship, loyalty and the (healing) power of creativity. Plus its a historical depiction of that era in the USA around a famous (but it seems, not very kind) popular artist. See more B C @That_Brett Sep 10, 2024 20%? Really? I realize I am a laymen, but you professional critics really do miss the mark a lot. This movie, while not perfect, is in fact fantastic. It’s entertaining, but more importantly to me, it’s educational about a time I wasn’t alive for and don’t know a ton about. Plus, love Sienna Miller, but who doesn’t I guess, right? I do feel like I learned a lot about Andy Warhol-good and bad. Learned a bit about Bob Dylan. Learned a ton about Edie Sedgwick who, heretofore, I knew nothing about at all. Maybe I just look for the positive in things and not the negative. See more Shioka O @RT54204327 Mar 20, 2024 So tragic to look at. I believe the real story is much more complicated and unbelievable than this film. Sienna Miller did a nice job and Guy Pearce as Warhol is just unrecognisable!

His inspired cinematographer and promising cast bring the important true story about Sedgwick's experience to life here and there throughout the 100 minutes but the movie is too surface level with the subject. Guy Pearce and Miller are outstanding in this forgotten indie. See more Mar 4, 2022 Poor little rich girl. Sad story on the downfall of a socialite. Dylan's muse for "Rolling Stone". See more Jul 9, 2021 Grrrr! These critics reviews infuriate me. It's not a damn biopic, you morons. It's a slice of life film covering the year 1965, when Edie became a Warhol muse. Much like "My Week With Marilyn," it simply depicts a short period of time during a weird and wonderful year at the Factory when these two personalities collided. Did we get into Marilyn's damaged past with "My Week"? No, it was just a story about Marilyn and a movie assistant during one week of their lives, just like "Factory Girl" focuses solely on Edie and Andy upon her arrival in New York. Miller and Pearce give outstanding performances, and we deeply feel Edie's betrayal when Andy becomes insanely jealous over her relationship with Dylan. For the film to have extensively dived into Edie's tortured past (which was referred to frequently and alluded to in scenes with her parents) would have completely diffused the story it set out to tell. Far from being a mediocre watch, I've revisited this film about three times already, and I'm sure I'll watch it again in the future. See more Read all reviews
