Factory Girl Adalah sebuah film biografi Amerika berdasarkan pada kehidupan bintang film underground era 60an, sosialita, dan Warhol Superstar Edie Sedgwick.
Film ini menyoroti keintiman seniman pop art Andy Warhol (Guy Pearce) dengan talentnya, Edi Sedgwick (Sienna Miller). Gadis cerdas yang salah arah atau sebut saja kebablasan dengan gaya hidupnya yang glamor setelah meraih kesuksesan.
Andy Warhol langsung terpesona ketika pertama kali melihat Edie Sedgwick. Sosoknya yang kharismatik dan background keluarga amburadul yang melekat pada dirinya, dilihat Andy Warhol sebagai sebuah pil stimulan untuk menghasilkan karya-karya fenomenal bagi "pabrik seni" Andy Warhol.
Kemampuan analisa Andy warhol terbukti benar, berkat nama besar Andy Warhol dan pujian-pujian yang sering dilontarkannya kepada pers, Edie Sedgwick menjadi terkenal.
Dengan kepopuleran yang kini dimiliki dan gaya hidupnya yang glamor layaknya artis Hollywood, Edie Sedgwick mulai mengkonsumsi drugs. Hal ini terus berkelanjutan hingga membuat dirinya bangkrut.
Puncak karirnya mulai berakhir ketika Andy Warhol merasa dikecewakan oleh Edie Sedgwick yang memiliki hubungan dekat dengan penyanyi folk Billy Quinn (Hayden Christensen) -yg dikisahkan sebagai karakter Bon Dylan. Billy Quinn menganggap Andy Warhol sebagai "penghisap darah" seniman-senimannya.
Kedekatan Edie Sedgwick yang semakin intens dengan Billy Quinn membuat Edie Sedgwick jadi jarang hadir ke "pabrik" untuk pembuatan proyek-proyek seninya. Seolah tidak mau perduli dengan semua ulah yang sedang dipertontonkan oleh artisnya, Andy Warhol tetap tenang dan disiplin mengerjakan proyek-proyek seninya di studio miliknya yang dia sebut sebagai "Factory(pabrik)".

Controversy
Lou Reed, singer/songwriter of the Velvet Underground and one of the Factory people who knew Sedgwick, hated the film. He told the New York Daily News, "I read that script. It's one of the most disgusting, foul things I've seen – by any illiterate retard – in a long time. There's no limit to how low some people will go to write something to make money... They're all a bunch of whores."
Bob Dylan threatened to sue, saying through his lawyers that the script insinuated his responsibility in Sedgwick's drug abuse and death. Jonathan Sedgwick claimed that an affair his sister Edie had with Dylan resulted in a pregnancy that ended with an abortion. To date no lawsuit has been filed.
