Factory Girl (2006) – Rewatch

I had thought I had watched this film before but it left no impression on me. A second watch didn’t do much to alleviate that feeling. The story of Edie Sedgwick, an heiress who was best known as one of Andy Warhol’s Superstars who died at a young age because of her drug abuse, isn’t very interesting, at least as shown in this film. It portrays her as a poor little rich girl whose life follows a rather predictable trajectory, used and discarded by any of the men in her life. Sienna Miller does do an admirable job in portraying Sedgwick, from her highs to her lows. Comparing pictures from the time portrayed, the two are almost indistinguishable from each other.
