20%? Really? I realize I am a laymen, but you professional critics really do miss the mark a lot. This movie, while not perfect, is in fact fantastic. It’s entertaining, but more importantly to me, it’s educational about a time I wasn’t alive for and don’t know a ton about. Plus, love Sienna Miller, but who doesn’t I guess, right? I do feel like I learned a lot about Andy Warhol-good and bad. Learned a bit about Bob Dylan. Learned a ton about Edie Sedgwick who, heretofore, I knew nothing about at all. Maybe I just look for the positive in things and not the negative.

So tragic to look at. I believe the real story is much more complicated and unbelievable than this film. Sienna Miller did a nice job and Guy Pearce as Warhol is just unrecognisable!

I thought this was an excellent movie and found the story profound and emotional at times. To see someone fall from such to potential, to be used and discarded like this is a real allegory to whom we choose to let into our lives.

George Hickenlooper is a quality director (mainly specializing in documentaries). His inspired cinematographer and promising cast bring the important true story about Sedgwick's experience to life here and there throughout the 100 minutes but the movie is too surface level with the subject. Guy Pearce and Miller are outstanding in this forgotten indie.

Poor little rich girl. Sad story on the downfall of a socialite. Dylan's muse for "Rolling Stone".

Grrrr! These critics reviews infuriate me. It's not a damn biopic, you morons. It's a slice of life film covering the year 1965, when Edie became a Warhol muse. Much like "My Week With Marilyn," it simply depicts a short period of time during a weird and wonderful year at the Factory when these two personalities collided. Did we get into Marilyn's damaged past with "My Week"? No, it was just a story about Marilyn and a movie assistant during one week of their lives, just like "Factory Girl" focuses solely on Edie and Andy upon her arrival in New York. Miller and Pearce give outstanding performances, and we deeply feel Edie's betrayal when Andy becomes insanely jealous over her relationship with Dylan. For the film to have extensively dived into Edie's tortured past (which was referred to frequently and alluded to in scenes with her parents) would have completely diffused the story it set out to tell. Far from being a mediocre watch, I've revisited this film about three times already, and I'm sure I'll watch it again in the future.

I liked this movie, highlighted the 60's and The Factory and the whole setting of the time period. I thought that Sienna Miller did a good job playing Edie. I seen this movie a few times I would see it again if you like the 60's and stuff to do with Edie Sedgwick and Andy Warhol then you might like this movie, I do.

One senses that Edie Sedgwick deserves better than this. It's not that Sienna Miller doesn't throw herself into the role but the screenplay - a conglomeration of truth, half-truth, and fiction - lacks depth and the direction is just as shallow. Factory Girl hints at a greater tragedy than the one it presents. By adhering to surface details and never letting the audience get to know the title character, the movie comes across as a generic bio-pic about another lost girl of the 1960s whose 15 minutes of fame leads to a downward spiral. However Sienna Miller is good and if there's any reason to see this film its for her performance.(average biopic saved only by a tough performance).

It's flaws are many and obvious, but the performances of Sienna Miller and Guy Pierce are so good! But where was her leopard skin pillbox hat?

Perhaps to mimic Andy Warhol's awkward filmmaking, this supposedly biographical picture is very short of the brilliance to match the compelling performances from Guy Pearce and Sienna Miller who play respectively Andy Warhol and his muse, Edie Sedgwick.

Found this really boring. Not my type of movie at all.

I never believed that Sienna Miller was a "real" actress but she actually managed quite well in Factory Girl. I am not sure if it is because she can act or just because - having been an IT girl herself - she identified with Edie Sedgwick, the IT girl of the 60s. Whichever way, it worked out. Based on the real story of Sedgwick, we follow her from her art studies to the world of the Factory, where an exploitative Warhol is ready to take advantage of her beauty and connections to get a hold to the upper class of New York. It is not clear what Edie's talent was, as she was a mediocre actress and modelled very little, but talent was not a requirement for Warhol's superstars. Warhol was a complex figure, perhaps a great artist or just an able manipulator, but his unpleasant nature is no secret. He had an adoring gang of "superstars" and would be artists, working for him in the Factory (probably the most pretentious art lab of the time). In the movie we see how he liked to pick the next "superstar", to replace the previous one he grew bored with. The script suggests Sedgwick was replaced by Nico (who undoubtedly was a more complex and interesting woman). More controversy is added by the mystery love story with Dylan (which might or not have happened, but is denied by Dylan). According to the script, Edie interest (even love?) for Dylan was another reason why the jealous Warhol dropped her. Not being able to have her undivided attention, not her money - since her father cut her of her inheritance - Edie was dropped by Warhol to deal alone with her addictions. Luckily the script does not even try to make the audience feel sorry for poor little rich girl Edie. Coming for old money, she had a difficult relationship with her father and tragedy struck early in her life with the suicide of her brother. However, her problems were compounded by her self-destructive nature and her Factory experience contributed only to send her down faster, where she probably would have ended anyway.

While Sienna Miller gives a solid performance it doesn't make up for the films many faults

Factory Girl is a decent film on the life of Edie Sedgwick and her work with Andy Warhol. The film should have been better considering the subject, but for what it is, it's a watchable film, but it's a film that should have been much better than what it ended up being. Guy Pearce is quite good in his performance of Andy Warhol, and his chemistry with actress Sienna Miller is really what makes this film watchable. The film should have been better, but as it is, it's n underdeveloped picture that doesn't realize its potential. Luckily, the two lead actors are great, and they make up for the lacking story. If the film was longer and the script would have been better, then Factory Girl would have been a standout film, but as it is, it's an inaccurate portrait of the two, and it doesn't tell the real story. I somewhat liked the film, but it's not a film that I would rewatch again. Factory Girl is simply a decent film that has too many imperfections for me to recommend it. Guy Pearce is very good here, but it's not one of his standout performances. Factory Girl deserved to be better, and it should have been more accurate than what the film turned out to be. I feel that the filmmakers rushed the film and they didn't give the story its just do. Luckily Sienna Miller and Guy Pearce keep you involved from start to finish. This film is just one of those movies that starts off with a promising start, but can't conclude in a satisfying way, and you are left wanting more out of the film, especially considering that Sedgwick was an influential actress in many of Warhol's shorts.

Necessarily more or less plotless because of the non-fictional, biographical nature of the film, this is still a good movie, made so mostly by the excellent performances of Sienna Miller as Edie Sedgwick, a 1960s New York icon who modelled, acted, and used a lot of drugs, and Guy Pearce as Andy Warhol, the artist and filmmaker who featured Sedgwick in a lot of his films. It's a fun portrait of the time and the people and Pearce's impersonation of Warhol is both uncanny mimicry and a well thought-out statement about what Warhol was all about.

when first watching this film i knew no real information on Edie, the film highlights the glamorization of drugs, and how it can ultimately destroy you. Andy warehole has always been someone of interest to me and to see into this world thorough the film was a exhilarating. there was drugs and romance. although once i had watched it i continued to do some research into her finding many flaws in the film. however the acting was very strong, and although it was not a true portrayal, if like me other viewers may have continued to look into this tragic story line for themselves also.

'Mise-en-scene' - haunting yet feels empty somehow

I liked it. (straight to the point)

jak to si? sta?o, ?e przeoczy?em ten film?? super

The cast was incredible, the acting was superb. Though I have never really been interested in the lives of these people or even heard of some of these people, I felt like this movie made me understand them and compelled me to read more about them and that time and era. For those that like biographical drama's, this is a strong movie.
