Valerie Solanas (Creator/LiliTaylor) is a would-be writer and activist who works as a prostitute, mostly servicing men even though she [[StrawFeminist genuinely hates them]]. She submits a play entitled ''Up Your Ass'' to artist and entrepeneur Creator/AndyWarhol (Creator/JaredHarris). Warhol and his "factory" can't use the play and don't immediately return it either. Solanas stews over the perceived slight, indulging in conspiracy theories where she's the victim. As per the title, her actions in response are drastic.

Solanas stews over the perceived slight, indulging in conspiracy theories where she's the victim. Part of this is her scapegoating Warhol for a bad contract she's signed with another publisher. As per the title, her actions in response are drastic.



* IntentionallyAwkwardTitle: "Up Your Ass" as an In-Universe example. If produced it couldn't be advertised in a newspaper of the time with that title.

to:

** ProperlyParanoid: Warhol is at least depicted as justifiably paranoid after the shooting, always on edge when out and wary of strangers.
* VillainProtagonist: While she's depicted sympathetically, there's no getting around the fact that Valerie Solanas is a psychopath who only misses being a murderer because she's not a very good shot.

* FreudianExcuse: Valerie Solanas's background of child sexual abuse is mentioned, and viewers can infer that she was also mentally ill on top of that.
* TheGrovel: Gerard Malanga falls down and pleads for his life after Valerie goes on her shooting spree. In other contexts he could look like a DirtyCoward, but the film is a realistic account of true events and he truly has no other chance to survive.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Shooting Andy is this for Valerie Solanas. Previous to that event she's got kooky ideas but they and she could be seen as harmless.
* MathematiciansAnswer: Warhol does this repeatedly to a journalist asking why he stopped painting and started making films. Every answer is yes/no even though the questions implicitly aren't.
