October 2, 2009I really liked this film! It sounds like I'm alone though. Sure the editing is a little muddled, it?s a little bit over the place but I think that it actually works quite well! Miller is brilliant as Sedgwick, I really think she has been treated badly in the press and in casting,...( read more)

August 16, 2008I didn't have many expectations out of this movie. But it was good, actually. The direction was unconventional and the storyline gripping interesting, but what makes this movie are the performances. Sienna Miller, whose acting skills I doubt quite a lot, was actually somewhat abo...( read more)

June 14, 2008Andy Warhol: "I think I'll quit my painting and, just make Edie a big star."
It took me a while to finally watch Factory Girl, a story which tells of a wealthy party girl, a poor little rich kid's trials and tribulations, her parties and the friends she keeps, her...( read more) -
January 28, 2008This is not a film I like watching. I don't care much for Andy Warhol, I don't care much for drugs, I don't remember Edie Sedgwick. But the movie isn't badly done.

November 18, 2009Guy Pearce was so good that I literally believed he was Andy Warhol for an hour and a half. Sienna Miller and Hayden Christensen also did a great job with their characters. The movie itself was a really great depiction of that time period and I really felt I was in the 60's while...( read more)

November 3, 2009I think if you make a biopic, it should be something unique. Otherwise, the documentary film is much better!!

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
The film never provides compelling reasons to care about the fate of this poor little rich girl. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
It's a sad, haunting story -- but George Hickenlooper's Factory Girl does little to show us why we should care. full review
February 9, 2007
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Miller gets old and used up before our eyes, and we not only see it, we see what it means to experience it. This is a movie about power, and its spectacle is that of a woman losing all of it. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Factory Girl is not, strictly speaking, a bad movie. It's something worse: an irredeemably banal drama about some of the most protean, contradictory creative forces of the 1960s. full review
February 5, 2007
David Edelstein, New York Magazine
The Warhol cosmos is too weird and complicated to lend itself to a conventional Hollywood biopic, and this one is conventional down to Warhol's first glimpse of his future 'superstar' bouncing up and ... full review

Kyle Smith, New York Post
Miller is wincingly good at playing up the innocence, with her junior high school declarations ('there's always hope') and the politely vacuous laugh she seems to deliver from her front teeth. full review
February 2, 2007
Kurt Loder, MTV
Pearce's performance is assembled out of rigorously limited physical gestures and a vocal characterization that never rises above a murmur. But it's mesmerizing -- you can't take your eyes off him, a... full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
George Hickenlooper's impressionistic biopic Factory Girl is a strange little affair, and not a wholly successful one. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
If not for Sienna Miller's engaging portrayal of Edie Sedgwick, Factory Girl would have little to offer. full review

November 20, 2007I am giving this a bad review I was so disappointed the only good thing about this whole entire film was
Hayden Christensen's brief appearance I am a huge hayden fan and I was very disappointed at how vague the characters in the movie was alot of the film never made much sense had alot of needless garbage in the film that was not even acting as far as I am concerned . At one point I actually was so bored I had to recheck the film plot to make sure this was the right movie. I could not believe it after seeing the scenes. Not at all the film I thought it would be or should have been. All the cast was not very good, and no wonder I never watch any of these other actors or actresses because they did not seem to deliver the lines as actors and actresses should do. This show left me feeling confused and raunchy I was very disappointed. -
July 18, 2007Although the movie started off fairly slow and the characters weren't clearly identified, the movie turned out to be good. I never cared for Sienna Miller, nor have i ever watched a single film by her. But she does a good job here. I never even heard of Edie Sedgwick before (Miller's character) but i fell in love with her. She's glamarous, beautiful, sad, pathetic and damaged. This movie isn't a biography about her entire life, but when she met Andy Warhol. She was introduced to a new city, new people, and a life she came to regret. Watch it! Just try and get past some of the weirdness. (Hayden Christensen is beautiful in this movie also)

December 6, 2006Sienna Miller looks great in this.
I am actually excited for this.. I thought I would never say that.
Guy Pearce looks great, too.
I've always imagined him in a weird Andy Warhol-ish type role.. and now he's actually playing Warhol himself. haha...
