Charlie Says

Charlie Says (2019) is a crime drama directed by Mary Harron that you can watch online on iFILM. Harron, who brought American Psycho to the screen in 2000, returns to psychological territory: the story of three women convicted in the Manson family murders and what came after the courtroom.

Years into their life sentences, Leslie Van Houten, Patricia Krenwinkel, and Susan Atkins are reached by a young graduate student running a prison education program. Her sessions slowly draw out how Charles Manson operated — isolating, reframing reality, turning compliance into killing. Matt Smith plays Manson without spectacle. Hannah Murray, Sosie Bacon, and Merritt Wever carry the film as the three women piecing themselves back together one conversation at a time.
