Rating: 3/5 --
Looking at the women looking at Charles Manson, "Charlie Says" is a frustrating watch that never really reveals why they did what they did. Murray and Wever are terrific though, and Harron nails that end-of-decade twisting of idealism and optimism.

Caution Spoilers
Harron’s film sets out to grapple with an age-old question in the context of a series of grisly crimes that continue to disturb five decades later: Why do ordinary people do extraordinarily evil things'
Variety
Charlie Says, for all of its noble intentions, has the spirit and nods towards similar territory as Helter Skelter or The Manson Family but, whether due to restraint, interference or whatever, just never quite gets there.

Flickering Myth
Rating: 3 --
Harron and Turner are making a wider point about the nature of demagoguery and the willingness of people to be led. It's easy to look back with fifty years of hindsight and realise little has changed.

The Wee Review
Charlie Says makes a strong case for an even grayer area: That perhaps these women can be victims and guilty of horrific, unpardonable crimes. It's an unsettling thought. But at least, unlike the exaltation of Ted Bundy's abundant charm, it's a new one.

Rating: 8/10 --
Charlie Says is a film about female solidarity in even the harshest circumstances, rather than yet another take on the Charles Manson story.

Wicked Horror
Rating: 2/4 --
While well-intentioned and thoughtful, "Charlie Says" is too ambivalent and too safe to deliver much in the way of original insight.

Product Description:
A prison educator (Matt Smith) resolves to help three of notorious cult leader Charles Manson's female followers (Hannah Murray, Sosie Bacon, and Marianne Rendón) achieve clarity after spending years under his abusive and criminal influence. With a series of uncomfortable flashbacks inspired by authentic testimonies, director Mary Harron offers a fresh perspective on Manson's crimes, particularly in light of ""Manson Girl"" Leslie van Houten's 2019 parole. Written by Guinevere Turner.
