matt-96 Review of I Shot Andy Warhol

I Shot Andy Warhol (1996)

A footnote in pop history depicted by a footnote in film history

[6/10 · 19 March 2000]

While Lili Taylor's performance is delightfully deranged and the depiction of the time is flawless, this film lacks any profound philosophical or visual punch. Twenty years from now, this film will be largely forgotten, except by the hardcore Taylor fans. It's her legacy, which should be great, which will give long-term life to this film. The film itself, while a fine effort, says little to give it long term legs.
