Review of Factory Girl (2006) by Scot C — 18 May 2011

"To me, New York was Jackson Pollock sipping vodka and dripping paint onto a raw canvas.".

This movie definately gives one more insight into who Edie Sedgwick and Andy Warhol were, if one didnt know already. There's nothing flashy or spectacular about this film, and the most part has a rawness about it. It's not great, but a good biopic. I struggled to totally connect with her, but a lot of that's got to do with the writing and the director's hold on the story, and I think it just lacked that emotional spark. In saying that, Guy Pearce loses himself in the role, and is brilliant as Andy Warhol. Sienna Miller is as strong as always, and perfect for the role as Edie Sedgwick.
