      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Blonde and beautiful, and with family money, Edie Sedgwick (Miller) made her way into the 1960

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD starts out overly contrasted and incredibly grainy, but quickly switches to a more realistic look. Fleshtones look good and details are captured quite well. Shadow delineation is not as well defined as on the better releases, with detail in the darkness difficult to see. Details often look slightly soft, and edge enhancement is noticeable. Source element artifacts are noticeable from time to time, film grain is heavy, and noise is prevalent, but it would not be surprising to hear that all were intended by the filmmakers, as they match the storytelling well. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #111 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review provides reviews of the latest DVD releases and new video technologies. The widescreen reviews are concise, accurate, and dependable. Frequently, the magazine explains in detail about recent technology and why and how our latest gizmos work. I loved the articles on various display technologies - how they are different, how they work, and how they will replace CRTs in the near future. Widescreen Review has updated my video knowledge more than any other video rag.
