Movie Info
The true story of Valerie Solanas, the radical feminist who became notorious after shooting art world icon Andy Warhol, is portrayed in this fact-based drama. In an attempt to present a fair assessment of her actions, writer-director Mary Harron focuses on Solanas' troubled life, from her childhood as an abuse victim to her life as teenage prostitute in New York City. These experiences left Solanas (played by Lili Taylor) deeply scarred, contributing to a hatred of men that later found full

The film benefit from Lili Taylor's perfromance and from nice artistic treatment, but Valerie Solanas is simply not interesting enough as a dramatic character to occupy the center of a whole film.
Harron's style and Taylor's unforgettable performance keep us off-balance and engrossed.
Never as compelling as its central performance, it's still a very good film - and after all, that's a hard performance to live up to.
Audience Reviews for I Shot Andy Warhol

Really captures the look and feel of (what I would think) that whole "factory period" would have been like. Complete decadence on a totally supercial level.
Lili Taylor is brilliant as is the rest of the cast.
Don't get me wrong...Solano was completely unstable, but ultimately it's very sad in the sense that most of her "crazy" rantings seem to come true.
Self fullfilling prophecy...or perhaps there was a little truth mixed in with her madness?
