In the mid-1960s, wealthy debutant Edie Sedgwick meets artist Andy Warhol. She joins Warhol's famous Factory and becomes his muse. Although she seems to have it all, Edie cannot have the love she craves from Andy, and she has an affair with a charismatic musician, who pushes her to seek independence from the artist and the milieu.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Sedgwick's death seems as predestined as a Hollywood melodrama.

rotten:
When Sedgwick's whirl of liberation turns into addiction, cliches stall the plot.

rotten:
It's a movie without that emotional spark that lets us connect with her, or anybody else.

I think Sienna Miller does a really nice job of capturing Edie Sedgwick, who really was the fore-runner to Paris Hilton and a lot of other people who are just famous for being famous.

rotten:
One 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.
