Charlie Says
With an all-star cast that includes Hannah Murray (Game Of Thrones), Merritt Wever (Nurse Jackie) and Matt Smith (Doctor Who, The Crown), boundary pushing auteur Mary Harron directs this provocative new look at the notorious Manson family murders.
Years after the infamous murders, the three women who killed for him remain under the spell of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. The trio seem destined to live out their lives in an isolated cellblock, until empathetic graduate student Karlene Faith is enlisted to rehabilitate them. Convinced they are not the inhuman monsters the world believes them to be, Karlene begins the arduous process of breaking down the psychological barriers erected by Manson. But are the women ready to confront the horror of what they did?
