    Not bad (as it was made out to be), great performances on the part of Sienna Miller (as Edie Sedgwick) and Guy Pearce (as Andy Warhol), the story was poorly adapted and conceived but as a character study (studies) it is great

    I loved this movie - Sienna Miller and Guy Pearce did fantastic jobs of portraying Edie and Andy - it might not be perfect, but so what??? Perhaps it doesn't portray Andy or Edie completely realistic, so go read some books and see some movies. This is just a glimpse into that world and the actors did fantastically well on their characters at least.

    I think it is pretty powerfull. I know many a current "factory girl" and I wish they'd see this movie and wake up.

    Edie is such a wretched and vapid human being, this mind numbing biopic makes me loathe this pop art culture even more. It's a shame to waste Guy Pearce's solid portrayal of Andy Warhol.

    Disappointing. Another movie where the main character is lured into a glitzy underworld, only to regret it and try to escape. Ho, hum. The saving grace is the beauty Sienna Miller, but she could only do so much.

    The acting is decent, the story is kind of a mess. In the end, it doesn't really add up to much. Catch it on DVD.

    I had such high hopes for this movie, but it fails to capture.

    Sienna acts her butt off but cannot save this film. It is pitifully written and the editing is even worse. At least Miller comes out unscathed. Rent it, if you are brave enough to sit through it!

    I saw this movie a month ago and loved it. Im surprised to see all of the negative reviews. If you liked The Doors and Wonderland than will like this movie. Maybe I'm just a sucker for movies that involve drugs, sex, greed, vanity, fame, power, envy and jealousy.

    What a heartbreaking film. Sienna Miller is breathtaking in this piece... I don't think I'll be able to get her performance out of my head for days.

    This film is so pretentious I can feel Andy Warhol awkwardly turning in his grave. This serious attempt to expose the abuse of love plays like a preschool playground romance. It is shallow and of little value to those who can remember the 60s or the MTV generation. It's appeal is representative of glamour and on the surface is enjoyable as a caricature of history. Despite strong casting the illusion of performance is evidence of style over substance. Hickenlooper exploits the memory of Warhol and Sedgwick and disrespects art in the process.… Expand

    Sienna Miller captures much of Edie’s physical manner and some of her voice (though she’s nowhere near deep enough), but there’s nothing she can do with material that requires her to mope and pout for the bulk of her screen time.

    It's more like "That Girl" on speed than anything else.

    Director George Hickenlooper captures the energy and ultra-irony of Warhol's scene, but his attempts to give the film a conventional biopic arc end up wallowing in dime-store psychology.
