Life After Manson (2014)
Life After Manson is an intimate portrait of one of the world's most infamous crimes and notorious killers. An exclusive interview with Manson Family member Patricia Krenwinkel reveals an unlikely relationship with charismatic Charles Manson that led her to cross every line of moral consciousness, culminating in the brutal murders she committed to win approval of the man she loved. Life After Manson offers a provocative character study that exposes a broken woman struggling with her past, her arduous effort to evaluate the cost of her choices, and the possibility of self-forgiveness. Can society offer her the same, and even identify with a woman who took life only to lose her own in a desperate effort to find love?

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Blistering performances.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
An insight into life in prison from one of the Manson family murderers, her words her feelings. Certainly a discussion piece!
This movie has clearly been made to help this murderer's chances for parole. It's fairly well made but ultimately doesn't really fly. Her poor-me self-justification coupled with her poorly hidden murderous rage at Sharon Tate's sister at a parole hearing actually reveal the person she still is--someone with no feelings except for for herself. Bottom line, she wasn't just present at the killings, she was a brutal and enthusiastic participant, stabbing and stabbing people as they begged for their lives. Even as she speaks in this documentary, her thoughts are mostly about how the Manson murders affected HER.
