« By focusing on a figure who gained notoriety, I Shot Andy Warhol challenges the biopic's naturalization of the connection between celebrity and 'greatness.' Although [Valerie] Solanas is publicly renowned, [Mary] Harron's film acknowledges that her violent act against Warhol had negative repercussions. As the end title cards explain, Warhol never fully recovered, physically or mentally, from Solanas' attack. As an anti-biopic, however, I Shot Andy Warhol also celebrates Solanas' qualities, casting her as a neglected, transgressive provocateur. »
