"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. "

"Factory Girl is about Andy Warhol's muse, Edie Sedgwick. Sienna Miller ("Stardust") stars as Sedgwick and she is gorgeous and luminous and fascinating. Guy Pierce ("The Proposition") and his jaw just disappear into Warhol. The rest of the film is trash. The "story" is difficult to follow. The editing is okay. I'm sure that the filmmakers were trying to capture the feel of that time period and the drugs and the art being created. But for all the interesting subject matter, it was a boring movie. "

"I admit a bias when it comes to the 1960s. It's a time I wish I had been able to experience. The music, the films, the literature, the art, and the very real belief that an individual could make a difference; I don't try to hide that I tend to get sweeped up and carried away by my romanticized notions of my father's era. Bobby plays to this nostalgic sensibility, though more in content than in form. Unlike Factory Girl, which was released the same year and concerns roughly the same time period, Estevez's film doesn't try to disguise itself as a product of the times it illustrates. Save for one scene which attempts to visualize an acid trip (which is, coincidentally, the film's worst segment, featuring Ashton Kutcher giving the film's worst performance) there are no true-to-the-period behind-the-camera histrionics. Instead, Estevez rips a few pages from the books of Robert Altman and Grand Hotel in an effort to define an era through a series of portraits all relating tangentia ... "

"This film really made me reconsider my feelings towards Andy Warhol. Although I'm aware this is a bias movie, as Bob Dylan's real name couldn't even be used, I came to see a side of Andy's art that I really despised. I thought this was really well done, the scenes were shot nicely, the use of lighting was superb, and I was entangled in it from beginning to end. Hayden Christensen was remarkably handsome, and Sienna did a very good job in portraying Edie. "

"I did like this movie, but unfortunatly there are many down sides to it also. First of all the performances in this piece are wonderful. Guy Pierce does a superb job as Andy Worhal, but even better is Sienna Millers role. She looks and acts a lot like Edie Sedgwick but without as deep of a voice. There are many instances were you can't help but feel bad for her and that is where the movie does its best. It shows that you can have everything dreamed for; fame, beauty, kindness, intelligence, and without something real to centralize you you're ultimatly grasping for nothing. She is very self-centered but she doesn't want to be. And that is why I liked this movie, because it shows the true desparity of a girl searching for meaning and purpose in her life which gradually leads to death. But sadly, this is where the movies biggest weakness also stands. It does great in portraying a self-centered, drugged up, lonely human but it does horrible as a character film. It seemed li ... "

"I wanted to see Flannel Pajamas after seeing a preview months ago. I saw it the same weekend I saw Breach and Factory Girl. Although all three films were great, Flannel Pajamas is still buzzing in my head days after. Flannel Pajamas is the story of Nichole & Stuart. It begins with their meeting on a blind date and ends years later. This film is different from so many romantic drams I've seen because it doesn't hide the relationship behind buildings, events or fascades. You see Nichole and Stuart at their happiest, maddest and saddest. You see them reflected through their families at Christmas, Weddings and more. Every character is strongly written and incredibly acted without overdoing it. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen the entire film. Flannel Pajamas is a small film that should be bigger. It should have wide release on a thousand screens. It makes you think, and feel like only the best films can do. "
