Charlie Says (2018)
7/10
A fine, feminist film well worth a watch
10 November 2018
This fine film gives voice to the Manson family women, whom history has reduced to dwelling in the shadow of the infamous cult leader.

It's intriguing work, well-directed and conveying an atmospheric feel of the "summer of love". Also, it's a magnetic portrait of Manson the man; Matt Smith does an excellent job, he's conveying a perfect balance of manipulative charm and danger.

The one slightly negative remark I have, is that Smits's performance sometimes overshadows the women at the center of the narrative.

But this is constantly exciting and well worth a watch. See it!
