Top CriticMiller is a genuine surprise as the damaged star. But the film leaves her very much as it finds her: a clueless naive.
03/16/07
Top CriticSienna Miller guarantees herself a bit more than 15 minutes with a strong performance in an otherwise dazed and confused film.

Top CriticIn all it's an unconvincing portrait, and as the Dylan clone says, "Empty, like one of those cans of soup..."
03/16/07
Top CriticOne wonders whether the documentary format would have better served the material than this ill-focused drama. Since real-life family and observers chime in over the end credits, perhaps the filmmakers were thinking the same thing.

Top CriticA brave bid to recreate a modern American tragedy, with a revelatory turn by its lead actress.

Top CriticDespite strong performances by Sienna Miller as the quintessential '60s It Girl and Guy Pearce as FrankenArtist Andy, the film ultimately doesn't have much to say about the people it purports to depict or the tumultuous times in which they lived.

Top CriticFactory Girl, a biography of Edie Sedgwick, the most glamorous of Andy Warhol's so-called superstars, suggests a magazine layout masquerading as a film.
02/02/07
Top CriticA brisk, superficial treatment of the tragic supernova life of Edie Sedgwick, Factory Girl disappoints as both biography and drama.
12/29/06
Top CriticDirector George Hickenlooper captures the energy and ultra-irony of Warhol's scene, but his attempts to give the film a conventional biopic arc end up wallowing in dime-store psychology.
12/29/06
Top CriticThough Sedgwick embodied everything that glittered and grated about the era's counterculture, director George Hickenlooper evinces no deep interest in the time and place, resulting in a film that feels removed from its source.
