The short, wild, messy life of Edie Sedgwick, from art student to party girl to junkie to corpse. Sienna Miller plays the reckless, adventurous, star-struck, strung-out Edie. Guy Pearce plays Andy Warhol with languid indifference. Hayden Christensen plays a character identified in the credits as "The Musician", and who's obviously Bob Dylan. There's a scene where the musician points to Edie's chest and tells her her trouble is that it's empty in there, and he kind of nails it. As good as Miller is, there's not enough to Edie to make you really care. She had her 15 minutes and it was fun while it lasted, and then the fun was over and it got real ugly and at 28, she was gone.
