About this product

Product Information

Best known for playing muse to Andy Warhol, Edie Sedgwick was a dazzling young socialite who found herself at the apex of the pop art scene in 1960s New York. In FACTORY GIRL, Sienna Miller is the enchanting, enigmatic Edie, offering a moving characterisation of the extremely troubled model/actress. The film kicks off as Edie, the daughter of a well-to-do horse rancher, leaves art school and moves to Manhattan in the mid-'60s. Her friend Chuck Wein (Jimmy Fallon) introduces her to Andy Warhol (Guy Pearce), and Andy is immediately taken with the waifish, wealthy Edie. He welcomes her into his Factory, the silver aluminum-foil covered loft where an assortment of artists and oddballs assisted him with his projects. Edie quickly falls into the hard partying, drug-addled scene, starring in Andy's experimental films and becoming his constant companion. She becomes well-known for her unique style, and the fashion industry taps her as its very first 'It' girl. Edie is flying high on Andy, speed, and stardom, when she happens to meet the Bob Dylan-esque 'Folksinger' (Hayden Christenson). She falls in love with him, and in doing so, falls out of Andy's favour. Her drug addiction spirals out of control, her parents cut off her cashflow, and her very bright star seems to burn out almost as quickly as it rose. As with most biopics, people are sure to quibble over the accuracy of FACTORY GIRL, and whether it offers fair portrayals of so many larger-than-life cultural icons. However, viewers are sure to agree that it makes a poignant statement about the pitfalls of fame. When Warhol tells Edie's mother that her daughter is going to be 'super famous', Mrs. Sedgwick coldly responds: 'and what exactly would be the value of that?' Judging from the very tragic, short life of Edie, there wasn't much value in it at all.

Reviews
Entertainment Weekly - Sienna Miller looks so much like the actual Edie Sedgwick that you may think, at moments, that you're seeing the real thing, Total Film - An undeniably affecting portrait of a life lived too fast, anchored by a star-making, layered performance from Sienna Miller, Sight And Sound - Edie is a class act, and Sienna Miller embodies her chic, innate aristocracy convincingly....Guy Pearce is also note-perfect as Warhol

Factory Girl
Very moving film about American heiress and Andy Warhol muse Edie Sedgwick who died of a heroin overdose in the early seventies at the age of 28. Sienna Miller is excellent as the heroine, displaying real acting talent. The film focuses on her relationship with the superficial world of Warhol's factory and her affair with 'Quinn' a charismatic, Dylan-like folksinger. Warhol made her a star but ultimately simply used her: When her beauty fades, so does his interest in the 'Queen of the Underground'. Essentially he considers as nothing but flesh (to use the title of one of his movies) To corrupt one's beauty is a cardinal sin in the bible according to Warhol; he never asks why or offers any help. 'Quinn' represents the more real world of folk music (we are talking early- to mid-sixties here). Torn between the two worlds, and less and less able to function, she flees more and more into the oblivion and comfort heroin offers. At the end she felt double-crossed by both men: she finds out about 'Quinn's' marriage in the papers, cruelly put to her by Warhol who seems to take a certain pleasure in her humiliation. She feels betrayed by Warhol's rejection: with her beauty ravaged and her funds depleted, he replaces her with another less self-destructive and less complicated blonde. Parading her in front of Edie, her already cracked self-esteem crumbles even further. Abandoned by Warhol's factory and with no hope of getting her relationship with 'Quinn' back on track, she has nowhere to go but home to her family and her very dominant father who supposedly abused her sexually at a very young age. Like all the other men in her life, he is incapable to look behind the facade, seeing in her no more than damaged goods and has her committed to a mental asylum. Shortly after her being let out into the real world, she takes a fatal overdose. Warhol's comment when confronted with her tragic death was typical for him and the factory world: 'It is easier to remain detached'. There is also a running comment by Edie (Sienna Miller in a black wig) from beyond the grave, giving her take on her life and untimely death and also filling in some gaps in her life-story. It would have been interesting to see more about her background, her wealthy but highly dysfunctional family - maybe the Sedgwick estate refused access, maybe the director wanted to focus on the short time span where her life shone brighter like the brightest shooting star you can imagine - and burning out just as fast. It is worth watching the 'special features', a commentary provided by people who knew Edie when she was the world's first 'It-girl'. They add a more personal touch and depth the film is sometimes lacking (and that's my only criticism of this otherwise very interesting portraet of not only Edie but the whole era). Highly recommended.Read full review

This film tells the story of art and pop legend Andy Warhol and his relationship with Edie Sedgwick,and the amazing decade of the 60s, with an underlying story of the dangers of drugs. It is captivating all the way through, and is an emotional roller coaster. Sienna Miller, Guy Pearce and Hayden Christensen all show the strengths of their acting in this film, and can not be faulted as they all act amazingly. Overall, this is a film that can not be faulted!
