I really liked this movie. It's not perfect but it's engrossing. Lili Taylor gave such a wonderful performance that made me laugh out loud and feel threatened at the same time. Her black and white monologue scenes were one of my favorite aspects of the movie. She's so convinced of her "movement" and that's put on display throughout the film but especially in the monologue scenes. She's got the razor eye look down!
I didn't really care for Jared Harris as Andy Warhol. He game off ditzy, fearful and dazed a lot of the time. I thought that this couldn't be how the real Andy sounded so I googled an interview with Andy done in 1966 and felt justified in my opinion.
Stephen Dorff was terrific as Candy. I felt like there was a perfect balance of tone and make up. Candy isn't a drag queen, but a transgender woman. And I never got that campy feeling from her outfits that would make me think otherwise.
The factory was just this ambiguous, shiny silver warehouse room that was beautifully envisioned. Aside from that, though, I felt a lot of the movie was flat. I wanted the sixties to just slap me in the face and I didn't get that.
Overall, I liked it. It's engrossing (could lose 5-10 minutes in my opinion though) and Lili Taylor just shines and forces my eye balls to watch her. She made the character believable and I actually felt a lot of sympathy for her. She did terrible things but had so much passion and in the end she was a victim of it.
