Overall

The film functions as a plain tip of the price of fame and the awful toll of addiction, providing a grim photo of a specific minute in American art history. Sienna Miller shines in the role of Edie, recording her elegance, fragility, and downfall convincingly. Of note is the film's expedition of Warhol's character: aloof, manipulative and indifferent to the human casualties of his art.
