Amazon.co.uk Review:
Charting the story of Edie Sedgwick, the infamous muse of Andy Warhol, Factory Girl is a diverting biopic, not one without some sizeable flaws, but one with reasons to commend it.
As interesting for its portrayal of Warhol as well as Sedgwick, the film charts the latter's involvement in the former's life, following her descent into drug addiction and how her days took a downward turn.
Still, it's hard to describe Factory Girl's take on all of this as the most objective of biopics, and it's frustrating in some ways, yet does continually retain your interest for the duration of your running time. Sienna Miller's portrayal of Sedgwick is fine, and certainly a career best, although Guy Pearce as Andy Warhol is perhaps the most impressive among the talented cast (which also features American Beauty's Mena Suvari and Star Wars' Hayden Christensen).
The film around this cast is a little muddled, though, and does ask a fair amount of its audience in caring for characters who are put across with little compassion. But if you are willing to put some effort in, Factory Girl nonetheless does deliver a real glimpse into some very unconventional lives. It'll be interesting now to see how Sienna Miller builds on the performance; she certainly helps lift this film into one that's at least worth a viewing. --Jon Foster
Rating:
- Beautifully Sad
I watched this film not really knowing what to expect and what I found was a story told with such beauty and sadness it made me want to watch it all over again.
The story of Edie Sedgwick is one of glamour,adventure,excitement,sorrow and eventually demise.
Edie (Sienna Miller) is truly a joy to watch on screen, not only is she beautiful but she is captivating and after watching the documentay of Edie Sedgiwck, the similarities in terms of looks, are uncanny.

Rating: - Amazing
I really don't understand how people can be so malicious about this movie. I was hesitant about watching it as I thought it looked good, but I really wasn't a Miller fan. But having watched it, I honestly loved it. I'm not saying it couldnt be improved, because couldn't everything? But I thought Sienna, Hayden and Guy were really good, I loved the used of music in the film which helped put it in the era it belonged, costumes were great and I generally really liked it, people criticise that it blames ...

Rating:
- Disappointing
I found this film rather slow and a bit tedious. The best part was the last half hour where you see Edie's descent into drug abuse. However the acting was excellent especially Guy Pierce as Andy Warhol.
Rating: - Well I loved it!
Having read about Andy Warhol and his infamous factory as a student, I had some bare bones of knowledge about Edie Sedgwick's life. I had very much looked forward to seeing this film, despite its mixed reviews and I wasn't disappointed. It has authentic period touches, from an external shot of sixties NYC yellow cabs lined up outside a building, to Edie's clothes, many of which were original vintage rather than wardrobe department copies. The story is an old, old story of idealism, fame and disillusionment ... Read More

- Beyond God & Edie
Embroiled, as we are, in the era of reality T.V, new bio-pic Factory Girl is a timely release charting, possibly, the genesis of our fascination with meaningless activities and the meaningless people who do them. Factory Girl is the truncated story of `Warhol Superstar' Edie Sedgwick, whose fleeting moment in the reflected glare of Andy Warhol's media glory became the prototype of today's production line celebrity machine; where nobodies are marketed as stars then immediately consigned to the out-tray as soon ...
