Factory Girl

I think I’ve seen this movie before: a troubled soul gets lost in the fast-paced times of sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll. The structure of the film lacks a solid foundation, thus making the narrative inconsistent and choppy. So really this film is more of a showcase for the evolving Sienna Miller as Edie Sedgwick and the spot-on Guy Pearce as Andy Warhol. Even Jimmy Fallon gets serious (and new tresses). Hayden Christensen plays what is obviously supposed to be Bob Dylan and I’m still torn on whether I think he actually pulled it off or just sounded constipated the whole time (any thoughts?). By the end, it all just got annoying, predictable, and repetitive – which are probably the three words least used to describe Sedgwick’s life. Ironic, no?
