Dove Review

This Edie Sedgwick biopic tries to portray drug use in a negative light; however, this does not come until towards the end of the film, when Edie is in the grips of heroin addiction. Throughout the rest of the film, people smoke cigarettes constantly and there is also a good deal of drinking and drug use. In these earlier scenes, the drug use is shot in such a way as to emphasize how carefree the characters are, and how much fun they are having. Also, the film references a daughter’s sexual abuse by her father, and has quite a few sexually explicit scenes containing partial nudity. “Factory Girl” is not approved by Dove.
