Written with clear compassion and boasting a robust performance by Lili Taylor, “I Shot Andy Warhol” portrays Solanas as a product of modern alienation.

Though this terrifically cast movie may prove a tad too detached even for some members of its targeted audience, it covers remarkable ground in less than two hours.

[Mary Harron] does two remarkable things in her movie: She makes Solanas almost sympathetic and sometimes moving and funny, and she creates a portrait of the Factory that's devastating and convincing.

The product of a more sophisticated era in American cinema, when movies were comfortable presenting problematic characters without instructing the audience as to how we’re supposed to feel about them.
