Factory Girl (2006)

Reviewed: 10.25.2007

Sienna Miller is fascinating at Edie Sedgwick, muse of pop art icon Andy Warhol. Edie was a real life Holly Golightly. (See Breakfast at Tiffany's starring Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard.) Guy Pierce is also brilliant as Andy Warhol; it's a shame Miller's performance gets in the way. Also of note, Hayden Christenson as Musician (more like a Bob Dylan impersonation with a hint of Darth). Regardless, Factory Girl is a mess-terpiece. There are interesting performances galore, but nothing cohesive. Jimmy Fallon and one of the Olsen twins pops up for 'wha, wha, what?!' moment. Fascinating, but most pointless movie of 2006.
