I enjoyed it...I have studied the Manson case for years, so I have watched all of the films associated with the topic. While most of the Manson films that come out in recent decades have left me with that "Beating a dead horse" feeling, as do most of the books that have come out, something about this film was different. I think they did a great job of casting for the most part...While the lead actors Playing Lulu, Charlie, Katie, Sadie and Tex Did not necessarily look like the characters, they we're all adept at capturing the attitudes and mannerisms of the person they were playing. Several of the supporting cast members bore Striking resemblance to their characters, most Notably Squeaky, Gypsy, Little Paul, Sharon Tate, and to a lesser degree, Sandy. I felt the film gave the Manson story a bit of a "fresh face", and if you are interested in True Crime, The Manson Family, Or The 60's, I think you will find this film enjoyable, That said, for those hardcore Tate: Labianca Murder/Manson Family students out there, and I know there are many.... Do not expect this film to be the one that finally gets that perfect score for historical or geographical Accuracy. I would say it's better than many that have come out over the years, but as far as sheer perfection goes, we are still waiting.
