"I think everyone wants to be famous."
The truely tragic story of the poor little rich girl Edie Sedgwick, who had plenty of psychological problems, which only worsened when she plunges herself into the ferment that was the sixties New York art scene and Andy Warhol's factory in particular. Edie (Sienna Miller) comes to the attention of Andy Warhol (Guy Pierce), due to her being from old money, whilst also being beautiful and an habitual scence stealer. All attributes that Warhol loved. But what happens when you are no longer the flavour of the month factory superstar?
The film in which Sienna Miller proves she does actually act. Unfortunately this plays loose with the real story and tries to provide drama by playing off Warhol against a Bob Dylan character, played with tedium by Hayden Christensen. More entertaining if you don't already know Edie's life story.
