What Parents Need to Know
About Factory Girl
Parents need to know that this tragic biopic about Edie Sedgwick isn't for kids. Pieced together through scenes of the often-bizarre underground world of Andy Warhol's mid-'60s Factory, it includes graphic images of sex, drinking, drugs, causal nudity, and soft porn. Edie shares memories of incest with her father (starting when she was 8), her brother's suicide, her first time having sex (while at a mental hospital), her parents giving her drugs from a young age, and more. Fashion-crazy teens may be drawn by star Sienna Miller's uncanny resemblance to Sedgwick -- whose iconic fashion sense has given her cult status today. But the movie's language, the characters' decadent debauchery, and, frankly, the extremely depressing story line about a privileged young woman's doomed life make it too much even for teens.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the art of Andy Warhol. What message do his images of household items send?
- Parents should also address Sedgwick's seduction into Warhol's Factory and what was really missing in her life -- a solid ground to call home.
- How did this affect the direction Sedgwick's life took?

This movie isn't quite acceptable for children under 14 years of age.
Although I have seen it and it shouldn't be appropriate for children my age it is a good story. I had to watch it especially since it told the story of my favorite past time celebrities Andy Warhol and Edie Sedgwick. This move does contain alot of drug and alchohol abuse people can relate and they can also understand Edie's addiction. They can also learn more about the famous Andy Warhol. There was alot of sexual intercourse in this film but it seemed to me that was needed to be included to show the intensity of Edie and Billy Quin's relationship.
