Notes et avis

Interesting familial conflict presented in a unique story plot. I was pleasantly surprised by each of the characters though was slightly let down by some of the acting. This might not be the comedy you're looking for, but it's certainly one I'd recommend.

It made me see some things from a different angle. I think the most important thing about this film is that it shows Charles Manson as a human being instead of a monster, a celebrity or a scapegoat.

Granted its from the lesser brother -KIDDING, hahah- but seriously, just the fact that its original content and well conceived and executed ; means your already way ahead of the game in todays world . 100 percent ,the Duplass brothers are as effective separately as well as together and are responsible for some of the best and thought provoking entertainment present . For this alone I am in thier debt.. ~j 'Lovits'
