Charlie Says (2018)

Pseudohistory of the Manson Family.

[3/10 · 13 March 2019]

The movie is about Charlie Manson and his manipulation tactics on the members of his cult.

Now let's start off with the good:

• The cinematography in the film is remarkable.
• Costumes is on point with the time period.
• A few of the things said by Charlie in the film is accurate.
• Matt Smiths portrayal of Charlie was remarkable.

Now for the bad:

• Most of the acting in the film felt very amateurish.
• The male members of the Manson Family are reduced to side characters.
• Not enough focus on the atrocities which they committed and too much focus was on the emotions and mental state of the female members of the family.
• The alteration of historical events so the viewer will sympathize with the female members of the Manson Family.

If you are looking for a accurate portrayal then this film isn't worth watching.
