Sedgewick was a serial party goer and a firm fixture on the New York scene in the 1960s.

But her wild antics caught up with her and she died of a drugs overdose by the age of 28.

Critics in the US are not completely convinced by the star's performance and the flick has received mixed reviews.

Entertainment magazine Variety described Miller's portrayal as "ultimately too whiny and narrowly focused to be a genuinely tragic figure" while the Los Angeles Times called the flick "superficial".

The film attracted controversy with its depiction of a doomed affair between Sedgwick and a musician, played by Star Wars actor Hayden Christensen.

The rumours that the sex scenes between Miller and Christensen were real, have been deemed a publicity stunt and have been dismissed by Sienna.
