this film makes art out of artists. it is a beautiful, artful depiction of three people: andy warhol, edie, and bob Dylan (billy quinn).many will say that it is not the accurate, hard fact bio pic that many people rely on such to be; but like the doors, it paints artful depictions of such iconic legends.all performances are done well. andy warhol is portrayed beautifully and harshly by guy pierce. sienna miller does a wonderful job as a beautiful girl valued only for her beauty and quirks. billy quinn... or bob Dylan... is portrayed just like the arrogant youth he was at times... bob Dylan was never always this sage who had best intentions in mind. he was human. and too many people forget that when hayden christensen plays him, he's portraying the real person.beautifully crafted.

Poor little rich girl Edie Sedgwick (Sienna Miller) has a doom outlook on her life. She leaves Cambridge Art School with her 'girlfriend' Chuck (Jimmy Fallon) to go to NYC in 1965. Her wealth soon attracts the attention of Andy Warhol (Guy Pearce). He brings her into the world of the Factory where she meets many personalities like musician Billy Quinn (Hayden Christensen).This is style over substance. Many would say the same thing about the real Andy Warhol. There isn't anything wrong with the performances. In fact, Sienna Miller is great. In the end, there is nothing compelling in her story or at least, the movie fails to make it compelling. I don't care about the character and I don't care what happens to her.

No idea about the historical accuracy, but it was a fairly flat experience.Plenty of opportunity for set pieces, but none of them was interesting. Especially the confrontation between Warhol and Dylan - didn't get a single insight from it. Also the atmosphere was too ... reliable - it should create a nervous uncertainty.In the end the heroine was just sad and lost, no tragedy to it. I guess because she was essentially passive.The music was disappointing too.The actor playing Warhol was excellent - in interview he said he was surprised to hear he was a villain in the finished product. I agree with his approach - less of the judgmentalising, please.The pace is good and it all fits together, but overall underwhelming.
