5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing take on the Manson family!
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2020
Verified Purchase
I've been interested in the Manson Family murders for a couple of years now and in that time i've watched a lot of different documentaries and movies about it but none of them focused on the "family" itself so this movie was really refreshing. It was really well made, it was accurate (with some added fiction in it of course) and all of the actors did an amazing job- especially Matt Smith (the actor who played Manson). I was surprised (in a good way) that he played Charles Manson in this movie because i've seen him in other movies/tv shows and he always pretty much plays the same kinda character- if I knew he was gonna be playing Manson before watching this I probably would've laughed and said "no way in heck could he pull this off!" but man was I wrong big time! He did an amazing job and was literally perfect can't think of one thing wrong with his performance. And it's good that he got out of his comfort zone and tried something new because he totally nailed it. Not only does he look a lot like Manson in this but he also 100% gave off Manson's whole vibe. And I just wanna say that this movie sticks to the facts, doesn't disrespect the victims and doesn't glorify Manson or his "family" if anything it lays the whole dirty truth of what actually went on- it wasn't just a bunch of peace loving hippies who got brainwashed but much darker stuff going on.

But bottom line I highly recommend watching this movie especially if you're interested in this case. Easily the best movie i've ever watched about it. 5/5!

5.0 out of 5 stars Different Perspective offering insight
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2019

This started out somewhat slow but I am pleased I stuck with it. Most films about this topic are written from the perspective of law enforcement, the victims, or Charles Manson. This film approaches the story from three of the prominent female antagonists. Good writing brings out the complexity of character in each of these women allowing them to be sympathetic enough you understand the dynamics of brainwashing, cult tactics, the stripping away of personhood, and the overwhelming desire to be loved creating the perfect storm for disaster. The writers walk you through the restoration of clarity to culpability and ultimately personal responsibility. The brilliance is that by the end the viewer is left with more insights about good and evil, criminality, and how complex their relationship can be. It's thought provoking, dwells less on the acts of violence themselves, and more upon how people can suspend rational thought, believe fantastical untruths subjugating their thoughts and free will to an individual they believe all knowing and powerful because that person fills a void in their own psyche. It's really well worth the watch it you like something more cerebral.

4.0 out of 5 stars So much better than expected!
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2021

I'll be honest, I had very low expectations for this film. I have a somewhat morbid obsession, or interest rather, in the macabre. I love films and documentaries about true crime and the Manson family is one of my all time favorite topics. I've seen many films on the subject and to my disappointment, they all seem to be the same, super predictable and almost comical. This film however, is the first film on the topic that roused some genuine sympathy in me for the girls. I feel like this film finally captured what actually happened at The Ranch. The actor that plays Charlie is fantastic, he plays the roll so perfect it's downright spooky. I am disappointed that he didn't get more critical acclaim for this role. Flashback movies never seem to be done tastefully and always come across as cheap, poorly done, but the way they did it in 'Charlie Says,' really works, it's subtle, and weaves the story together beautifully. I do wish the film was just a tad longer and got into the development of the shift at the ranch, like how Charlie and the girls started doing a lot of speed and became more violent, this was a blip in the story line and it seemed like things went from peace and love to murder, virtually overnight, but overall the pace of the film was accurate. Seeing the children at the ranch and how they were completely neglected and showcasing just how dirty and disarrayed everything was, was another aspect this film failed to capture, but again, it didn't ruin things for me. Even though I knew what would happen, I still felt entertained till the end and considering I am very ADD and have trouble focusing if I am not completely enthralled, that means something. I like that this movie shows you the fact that these women were really victims themselves, of severe systematic psychological, mental and physical abuse, for many years. I feel like they didn't deserve life in prison, especially Leslie aka LuLu, she was just a child when all this happened. A lost little girl and I believe she genuinely felt horrible. What happened to Sharon Tate and their other victims is despicable, but still, they wouldn't have committed these crimes if it hadn't been for the years of conditioning and abuse. Those girls could've been rehabilitated and lived fulfilling lives outside of prison. Too many abuse victims are treated like criminals and therefore men continue to get away with abuse. I also have to say, I can understand that anger towards the rich. When you're poor and living with nothing and the rich are flaunting their wealth, acting as if poverty doesn't exist and is nothing but a burden to society, it can be infuriating. It would be the right thing to do, for the super wealthy to make a point to pay a great deal more in taxes and donate money to shelters, schools, non-profits etc. I'm not talking about people who think they're rich, who actually make $100,000-1million a year, thats not rich, so don't get offended if thats your income bracket and start thinking all the "poor bums" are coming for your money...I'm talking about the people who own multiple private planes, own Islands and yachts and could blend your yearly income and drink it every morning for breakfast. Anyway...I've strayed from the point. The point is, the movie makes you think. It takes you into the heads and lives of these women and lets you truly see how something like this could happen. It also makes you hate Charlie even more, because he is such a manipulative, quintessential narcissistic abuser. When he say's "you're tiny female brain thinks it's spotted a contradiction and is going to have a freakout" (when in reality she HAS caught him in a pretty serious contradiction) I get so pissed I want to travel to that fake moment and stand up for Lulu. The other scene that drives me nuts is when Lulu has the opportunity to escape with that motorcycle guy and instead stays with crazy eyed Charlie and just a few days later ruins her whole young life by committing those heinous crimes. I love that the movie ends with a repeat of the scene, only this time she gets on the bike and drives off to a new life, it's a super heavy, profound ending that makes you really think about how every decision you make is so important and can be the one decision that changes the whole course of your life. Overall a pretty powerful movie, especially since it's about a very overdone topic, but doesn't come across as such, this feels like a completely new take, because it is one. 100% worth a watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Acting, Worth the Watch
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2020

For the first time, here is a Manson movie that actually has some real acting. Also excellent writing. Cast of characters was very convincing, but for Sadie--whom we all know was coocoo for Coco Puffs. The actress who played her was far too demure.

Merritt Wever (Nurse Jackie) plays Karlene Faith, who may or may not have rehabilitated Van Houten, Krenwinkle, and Atkins in prison.

Although Manson did a major head job on these girls, I'll never be convinced that they weren't "off" to begin with. It takes a lot of rage to kill in the fashion that they did. Manson was merely the one who gave them the permission to express it.

This movie was fast paced and engaging. Definitely recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting with a strong depth of research
Reviewed in Australia on February 14, 2020

This movie is strongly based on the book The Long Prison Journey of Leslie Van Houten, as it engages with the experiences of the convicted women after they were sent to jail, as well as exploring their time with Manson. It demonstrates a strong depth of research from a number of sources, including the book written by Paul Watkins, as there a couple of scenes in the film that readers of that book will recognise. Ed Sanders was an executive producer, which is no doubt why the film says at the start it’s based on Ed Sanders’ The Family, but it’s a much more balanced and ultimately feminist representation of the events than Sanders’ roller coaster ride of sensational details and bizarro hearsay ( although as his book was published so soon after the events, it is close to being a primary source and deserves be read as such on its own terms). There are some minor inaccuracies in it but overall I think it’s a worthwhile addition to any Manson aficionado’s collection.

Reviewed in Canada on December 24, 2020

I was a bit worried with the death of Charlie Manson, would some try to capitalize on his insane horrors still? Or let dead dogs lay? Yet, he and his 'family' should not be swept under the carpet so easily, as we still experience cults and followers to this day. Some very insulated, others outward and dangerous. And the Manson Family was the worst of both worlds. And I think Mary Harron shows that in a fairly straight forward way with this film. Had Charlie been honored with his music, he may have become a religious zealot whose commune would eventually implode. But with his rejection and disregard, it put him over the edge to lash out. And sadly, he had the talent to manipulate young free thinkers to his warped visions. It's too bad in a way that Quentin Tarantino's 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood' somewhat eclipsed this movie, as this is the more realistic retelling. Matt Smith is great as Charlie. Yet the credit goes to all the young actresses that played his servants. The movie somewhat awkwardly ping pongs between two or three years before the massacres, and three years after as the three women convicted had the death penalty lifted, but best left on death row. A prison counselor/teacher (Merrit Weaver) slowly wins the trust of the women and breaks down their devout faith to Charlie. Good in one way they finally realized the senseless terror they had caused so many. But sad to see that they'd have to live with it for the rest of their lives behind bars. And the question remains 'rightfully or wrongly?'
