“She leaves only good wishes behind.”
Edie Sedgwick (Sienna Miller) came from a very prominent but deeply troubled New England family. Seeking to escape the punishing and uptight environment, moves to NYC and quickly becomes deeply enmeshed in the world of Andy Warhol’s (Guy Pearce) Factory – the studio where the artist developed his unmistakable style in the 1960s. The post-modern, deconstructionist artist surrounded himself with the most beautiful people, the quirky, outrageous people, artists, writers, musicians, dancers, models, busboys, and lots of drugs.
The ambitious starlet saw the opportunity to be noticed. Warhol, the legendary people user, saw the opportunity to live vicariously through Edie and to find art buyers from Edie’s high society background.
The film chronicles the beautiful but vulnerable young woman’s rise and tragic fall.
Also appearing are Hayden Christensen, the musician Edie falls in love with; Jack Huston as the artist Gerard Malanga; Jimmy Fallon as Edie’s college chum Chuck Wein; Armin Amiri as the artist Ondine; Tara Summers as Brigid Polk, another factory girl; Mena Suvari as Edie’s friend Richie Berlin; Shawn Hatosy as the musician’s friend Syd Pepperman; Beth Grant as the artist’s mother Julia; Edward Hermann as her trust fund banker James Townsend; Illeana Douglas as Diana Vreeland; and Don Novello as Mort Silvers.
Directed by George Hickenlooper.
Run time: 1 hour, 40 minutes
This film is not rated by the Motion Picture Association of America.
My personal rating: B
