Guy Pearce fascinates as Warhol... but movie is a let-down...

I bought this film because I wanted to discover the truth behind what happened to the ill-fated, poor-little-rich-girl Edie Sedgwick, to learn more about artist Andy Warhol and their relationship. I should have read books about their lives instead. I am that disappointed in this movie... Factory Girl (Unrated) is the true story about an art student, Edie Sedgwick, who captures the interest of famous artist Andy Warhol when he's first "stocking" … more

I Can't Get Enough Distance ....

Edie was a blue-blood from an important family, an artist who wanted to explore the big city of New York. She meets Andy Warhol and the two become fast … more

Revisiting the 1960s: Was it really that strange?

FACTORY GIRL is a film that divides viewers into those who love it and those who dismiss it as trivial trash. For this reviewer there are some strong points in this film about an almost indescribable time in our history that helps clarify points about Andy Warhol and his significance on the art scene. And one of those points is made more clear by the film's refusal to make Warhol the central character. This is Edie Sedgwick's story and it is told in a manner compatible with the times in which it … more
