(Drama) "Factory Girl" tells the story of the rise and fall of the original "IT GIRL" Edie Sedgwick. When Edie meets famed artist Andy Warhol, she is thrust into a life of glamour, parties and ultimately…tragedy.
Viewer Reviews
The only positive for me is that I went into this with very low expectations. A little birdie told me not to buy it or even rent it; instead, for the first time, I borrowed a DVD from the library. I got it today; they said I can keep it for a week--it's going back tomorrow.
I watched it by myself, because I just had a feeling I would be embarrassed for the actors if I watched it with someone else. And I was. Sienna Miller did the best she could, probably, with a weak script and Jimmy Fallon in a laughable supporting role. The Dylan character, Quinn, made me sink into my seat, cringing, and thankful that no one else was watching.
It's a kitschy imitation of a kitschy reality, and it uses every film-making cliche in the book. There was one Edie Sedgwick, there was one Andy Warhol, there is one Bob Dylan. These people are too iconic to be portrayed by second- and third-rate actors. It seemed like kids playing dress-up.
Do yourself a favor and skip this film. If you're interested in Edie, get the Jean Stein/George Plimpton "verbal" biography. If you're interested in Edie only as a fashion/style icon, there are many books full of beautiful photos. This is just a cheap--very cheap--imitation.
