http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/20/Factory-Girl--Sedgwick-Warhol-and-The-Mighty-Quinn.aspx As a simple tragic romance, FACTORY GIRL may be appealing. As a moving character study of Andy Warhol and his eccentric entourage, it is not. If this movie had tried to be a little less self-important, it could have been very, very good. Instead, the filmmakers seemed content to bat heavy issues around without really confronting them. FACTORY GIRL tells the story of Andy Warhol protégée Edie Sedgwick (Sienna Miller) and her tumultuous rise and fall in the mid-1960s New York hipster/art scene. Sedgwick gained attention for being very pretty and starring in a number of Warhol’s very bad movies. Sedgwick and Warhol (Guy Pearce) had what could have been a romance, had he been interested in women, and if she hadn’t been brutalized by men. Instead, they built a relationship on appearances, affectations and possibly a genuine affection based on their inability to emotionally connect with anyone else. In this movie, they save their most intimate of conversations for the phone.   The story is essentially a love triangle, as soon as Bob Dylan is added to the cast of vaguely-disguised celebrity/characters that haunted this particular time. The movie wants to create this tension on a deeper lever, making Edie the tug rope between the shallow, ironic, disaffected pop art of Warhol and the earnest, issue-tackling, counterculture prophet that is Dylan. This would be great if the movie was at all concerned with the art of either man. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/20/Factory-Girl--Sedgwick-Warhol-and-The-Mighty-Quinn.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/20/Factory-Girl--Sedgwick-Warhol-and-The-Mighty-Quinn.aspx#1779 very disappointing WAVELYN http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/20/Factory-Girl--Sedgwick-Warhol-and-The-Mighty-Quinn.aspx#1779 Mon, 15 Oct 2007 13:31:47 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/20/Factory-Girl--Sedgwick-Warhol-and-The-Mighty-Quinn.aspx#1882 I liked this movie, although some of the facts were wrong.
