olalucifer in that fascinating pale material world, everyone who dared to choose to create art needed to pay something as an exchange.art is never something for people to explain or understand, it was born to keep its own private mysteries, which leads to the reason why so many people are being attracted by it, and it is the resistance.and those who make this kind of creation, must be having a really hard time.

jegerendreng The subject of this movie is extra-ordinary: One of the people who was hanging out in The Factory.Unfortunately this movie turns a great big can of Campbells Tomato Soup into plain old cat-p***.The plot seemed pointless and boring. We don't get close to any of the characters - Edie had a tough childhood yes but the movie doesn't really get that through. The problem might be that the movie tries to make a short summary from Edies adolescence till death - we don't have time to actually see what's happening.The actor Sienna Miller playing Edie i think does a good job - she is the Moviestar and the Ex-Moviestar/drug-addict when she's supposed to.Guy Pierce plays the role as Andy Warhol. This part is what I think is one the biggest drawback of the movie. It's the wrong cast for the role. He doesn't show any of the depth, self-irony and humor that Andy had. An actor like Philip Seymour Hofman or Robert Downey Jr. would have fitted a lot better and might have seemed credible - instead Andy ends up seeming like a calculated dry insurance-agent dressed up badly as a cynic artsy idiot. Overall a movie which could have shown the story of an art-scene with all of it's brilliant strange people, drugs etc. but instead it was a a shallow fabricated story about a girl going after fame and lured into a being a drug-addict.

Cinemascope393 I've been waiting for years for a movie to be made about the fascinating life of Edie Sedgwick. Of course, she was "reintroduced" to the pop culture scene (after a brief stint as "girl of the year" in 1965) after the book "Edie: An American Biography" came out in the 1980s. The real Edie, who was an Andy Warhol superstar, enchanted and influenced her generation. But drugs, alcohol and mental instability destroyed her and she died of an overdose at a young age. All the elements for a great movie are part of her real biography. She came from a rich and dysfunctional family (two of her brother's committed suicide and she may have been molested by her father.) Sudden fame when she moved to New York. Drugs. Modeling. Beauty. Fame. Nymphomania. Insanity. And a final try at pulling herself together with a marriage before dying in her sleep at 28. This movie, however, is one dimensional. You never get a sense of who Edie is. Her tormented soul is never explored. Instead she is portrayed as a fresh faced naive girl who is made corrupt big bad artsy successes. By focusing on a brief fling with a folk singer of the era, the movie misses what made her so selfdestructive. Aside from her looks we never learn why she captivated the pop scene. We never discover why she was hell bent on stifling her soaring spirit. It is in the fault of the script which is trite and cliché. Sienna MIller could have been a good Edie if she had the material to work with. The sad part is that, now that this film is such a flop, probably no one will have the guts or get the funding to make the movie that Edie's life deserves.

Exxon_1985 I wish i would've met Edie Sedgwick , of how idiotic and purely lovely she was , of how cheeky and thickly lovable person she was , but generally you know what is the problem ? Sienna Miller is NOT . screw details,here we have another Biography | Drama kinda movie. and it is walking in the edge rising and falling fare well . looks like a memorial of how 21 years old Edie rise just joining the porno graphical worthless underground movies of Andy Warhol . though i cant bare judging this raw , but what better idea it can be with such movies.who knows this things? they're kind of art? then go F**k yourselves .1964 and young 21 years old Edie Sedgwick(Sienna Miller) is about to go to art,but her famous and rich far more about thoughts family never let her to do it.she goes party to party with her youth energy to find the gate.finally she finds Andy Warhol(Guy Pearce) who is a little bit bisexual(Jeez what a shame) and works in his independent studio named Factory.she woks in the art work(F**k if i know)a while and making underground movies with him until he meets Bob Dylan(Hayden Christensen) and they start to have relationship.after she screws up with Dylan and Andy,she starts to ruin herself with Drug Addiction and drinking problems.her family force her to rehab in a hospital in 1970.she dies in 1971 of a drug overdose.so many 28 or 27 years old people died during the start of 70 decade.Jim Morrison,Jimi Hendrix,Janis Joplin and ... Edie is one of lost souls of early 70s too.the angel of downtown underworld factory production movies of Andy Warhol.even Andy indicated that he felt some kind of love with Edie that he never felt like before.anyway now both are dead.pulling out of dead people the movie really is not a big something. Sienna Miller is harshly trying to mimic like Edie,spectacular similarities they both have,but because i have not seen Edie before,i cant judge of how she was.but in such weak movie , her performance is good.you know i believe they don't make a decent Biography film nowadays and its not Sienna's problem . its just that it is not a costly production with superstars.Edie herself was not a superstar and the only bright spot can be her ended relation with Bob Dylan.it was nice to meet you Edie,may you rest in piece forever. may that interrupted soul will settle somewhere in the time...
