Review of I Shot Andy Warhol (1996) by Jennifer B — 14 Aug 2007

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.
