MCT:February 26, 2008Andy's 60s period was fascinating, but this film doesn't do it justice. Why is such a brilliant historical figure always a supporting character in the movies? Basquiat, I Shot..., and Factory Girl. You'd think by now there would be a film about the Man himself.

MCT:October 31, 2007A fascinating character study. Lily Taylor is amazing as a woman who cannot connect with anyone, including herself. My one question is why did the feminist movement embrace this sad and pathetic woman?

It was alright I guess. Jared Harris did a fantastic job at portraying the late Andy Warhol, but the movie wasn't all that great.

Well first off this is a well acted film with a overall strong cast (Look for Michael Imperioli's scene stealing performance) Plus has a great look to it thanks to Mary Harron's direction. So what's the problem with this movie? You just don't really care about what's going on with the charecters and it drags for so long without anyreal reason for the film to. If you're looking for a film with strong performances it's here but if you're looking for more like I was see Mary Harron's American Psycho.

When Andy Warhol (Jared Harris-- perfect) asks transvestite Candy Darling (Stephen Dorff, astonishing) ''How often do you have your period?'', to which she answers ''Every day. I'm *such* a woman.'', you know the ones behind the camera are having a wicked good time. Lili Taylor's one woman show is an enormous pleasure to watch, and caked with Harron's edgy-yet-blunt directing, I Shot Andry Warhol is a shot of adrenaline pumped directly into your brain.

This movie is not so much about Andy Warhol as about Valerie Solanas, a woman who, moved by the victimizing circumstances of her upbringing (which they don't say too much about) and of her confrontation with finding herself without much money she is entering a cold world outside of her education that inhibits women from various equalities with men. She stumbles downhill wearing her rebellion of an oppressive society amidst misfits of which even she does not fit. Her voice was not heard when she was alive, but her writings are now an often circulated feminist material.

A fantastic movie. Mary Harron, who later directed American Psycho, is a gritty director with a keen sense of what's edgy.

Brilliant! Stephen Dorff is great as Candy Darling. Lili Taylor is perfect as Valerie Sloanas. A great representation of the "Factory"

Very good period biopic on Valerie Solanas. Very interesting as director Mary Harron recreates The Factory lifestyle, always amazing to watch for some reason.

A bizarre but facinating film about Valerie Solanas, a feminist writer and her friendship with, and eventual shooting of, famous artist Andy Warhol. The underated Lili Taylor gives a fantastic performance as Solanas and the supporting cast are solid (Stephen Dorff was quite good a transvestite named Candy, I do admit that I never thought I'd live to see Dorff in drag but he makes it work). The story itself doesn't quite gel together perfectly but I found it an interesting and enjoyable film.

This film has everything to me. Tragedy, absurdist humor, over the top dialogue, a notably beautiful tracking shot (inside the factory), absolute commitment from the actors esp. Lili Taylor who hits it out of the park in this role. Characters that we rarely see portrayed in film are focused upon in a most unpredictable and cosistently interesting manner. I love this film. Mary Harron is one of the very few female directors contributing the the masses of films being made in the world.( She also directed American Psycho) and her subject matters are not typically "female"...I mean they do focus on women...but she explores insanity and violence and is not afraid of the very black humor...and she has definately studdied her male counterparts works and manages to synthesize certain conventions into her own style very uniquely. blah blah blah haha..but I am serious I loved this. and totally respect this director.

Pretty good but I thought it was a bit camp, which is probably a strange thing to say about an Andy Warhol thing.
