The Autobiographical film depicts the life of one of America’s famous “it” girls who lived a life full of drugs and alcohol which lead to her death. The film uses very similar filming techniques to those used by Andy Warhol with Edie Sedgwick to combine the audience’s view of her from the media to the story of the rest of her life outside of the media’s eyes. She represents every socialite born into money but plagued by her past and desire for attention and friendship.
The film presents how the American media glorifies and praises “It” girls and then adds to their downfalls and quickly forgets them. People become like toys where the media has fun with it until it is bored and wants someone new to use. Edie is one of the first socialites whose fame was followed by a publicized fall.
