Factory Girl

About This Movie

Factory Girl is an intriguing dive into the chaotic world of 1960s New York. Edie Sedgwick, played with a sort of ethereal fragility, embodies the muse archetype, but there's a real undercurrent of tragedy. The film captures that Warholian vibe—not just in the visuals but in the pacing, which feels languid yet charged. You get a sense of Edie's struggle for identity amidst the glitter and fame. The performances are solid, especially Sienna Miller as Edie, who navigates through naivety and disillusionment. It’s a mix of glamour and grit that makes you appreciate the darker side of the art scene. The practical effects are mostly understated, really letting the performances shine through the haze of excess.

Released in January 2007 · Shot on location in New York City · Sienna Miller's performance noted for its depth · Features original music by various artists
