Sienna Miller is a real beauty,but a much more conventional looking one than
Edie Sedgewick.
She puts in a good performance,but has virtually nothing to work with here. She does a lot of feverish cigarette smoking.
Guy Pierce is ,however very convincing,as Andy Warhol.
Obviously,we know much more about him,and this film largely shows how Warhol with his camp,and obtuse take on film-making,as part of his Art,took advantage of a naive and impressionable rich girl.
A gaping hole in 'Factory Girl' is the inability to actually name Bob Dylan,as the 'folk singer' who was Edies' lover for a short time. Maybe a legal block from Dylan?
Doesnt make him look good does it?
Disappointing.
