Unexpected and charming, “Manson Family Vacation” is one ride you’ll want to catch.

By Katie Walsh FULL REVIEW

Variety

Sep 22, 2015

If the outcome of the film feels at once daring and more than a little preposterous, Davis just about pulls it off, largely by treating the emotional fallout in completely rational, even realistic fashion.

By Justin Chang FULL REVIEW

The Hollywood Reporter

Sep 22, 2015

Far less sensationalistic or cutesy-provocative than its title suggests, the film borrows its subject's infamy to add gravity to some family drama but does so in a good-hearted way.
