If you get it, you get it.

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 2019)

This is a movie where understanding the historical background and context, and knowing all the references is crucial, because the movie itself lives and plays off of it. I went into the theater not knowing anything about the Manson murders, and so I felt a little lost and confused, but thankfully my friend sitting next to me had done his research and filled me in. Once you get all the history, the movie is a MASTERPEICE, otherwise, it's a little underwhelming. Still a good movie, but just kinda underperforming.
So if you have not seen this yet, go google the Manson murders. You'll thank yourself when your rating this movie a 9-10/10 later.
