CGiii Comment
Miller does the best she can with BAD material - within an inaccurate mess of a film.
Jean Stein's book was, obviously, not consulted.
Hickenlooper adopts every trick in the book to recreate this irresponsible faux story.
It is neither revelatory nor does it answer questions.
Without money, without Warhol - was Sedgwick just plain Edith?
In better hands there could have been a good movie - maybe, one day someone will do justice to this story - simply by telling the tragic truth.

The(ir) Blurb...
A beautiful, wealthy young party girl drops out of Radcliffe in 1965 and heads to New York to become Holly Golightly. When she meets a hungry young artist named Andy Warhol, he promises to make her the star she always wanted to be. And like a super nova she explodes on the New York scene only to find herself slowly lose grip on reality...
