Review of Factory Girl (2014) by Jordan A — 04 Feb 2008

Charting the rise and fall of Sixties 'It' girl, Edie Sedgwick, I enjoyed this film more than I thought I would. All the cast did an excellent job of portraying the various iconic characters. Guy Pearce as Warhol was, as always, splendid.

Sienna Miller acted her socks off and at last Hayden Christensen was given the opportunity to show he can act, having had to wrestle those dreadful Star Wars scripts. The film did an admirable job of giving us an insight into the fickle, shallow world of The Factory and the desperate characters that were part of that 'scene' at the time.

Good sideburn rating - 6/10 (Hayden's sidies do it for me any time, but the film loses marks as Andy Warhol freakishly had none at all!). Presence of sartorially elegant men - 6/10 (a little bit of beatnik goes along way on Mr.

Christensen).
