Starring Matt Smith as Charles Manson and Hannah Murray as Leslie Van Houten, "Charlie Says" is a 2018 biographical drama centered around the infamous cult leader and killer. In addition to this, the film focuses on Karlene Faith (Merritt Weaver), the author of "The Long Prison Journey of Leslie Van Houten", and her attempts to deprogram Van Houten and her sisters. Faith tries her best to get the young, imprisoned girls to understand the magnitude of their crimes and relearn who they were before they met Charles Manson. It's an interesting film that offers a unique perspective, as the girls who committed these heinous crimes are unusually gentle and kind, a stark contrast from what viewers would expect.
