Factory Girl

Who would have thought that the hot, blond model chick disrespected by Jude Law could act? It's too bad her talent is wasted on a biopic that requires her to shallowly spiral from a happy-go-lucky socialite party girl to a depressed, indigent party girl. In what may be one of the toughest roles given to an actress this year, Sienna Miller dazzles as Edie Sedgwick, muse to Andy Warhol (Guy Pearce) in the turbulent, drug-induced 60s. Edie falls in with the wrong crowd and gets swallowed up. Miller spends the majority of the flick dancing around Warhol and his "Factory" of druggie filmmakers and models. Trouble is, the screenplay doesn't give us much more. The film is a superficial attempt to tell Edie's story and while you wonder what she was really like, you find yourself counting the minutes to her predictable demise so that you can just go home and go to sleep. Wait for the DVD.
