Leave your thoughts about Manson Family Vacation.
| Consequence of SoundRandall ColburnManson Family Vacation isn't a buddy comedy or a road movie, though it has aspects of both. It's very funny, but unafraid of intense emotional catharsis. |
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonIt's rare that anything associated with Charles Manson can put a smile on your face but J. Davis' confident debut does just that, making for a surprisingly sweet and thought-provoking cinematic journey. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordThe Manson subtext not only gives the film a darkly comic bent, but deepens its emotional context. This little film is both familiar yet not, marking the debut of a unique voice. |
| The PlaylistKatie WalshUnexpected and charming, “Manson Family Vacation” is one ride you’ll want to catch. |
| Under the RadarZach HollwedelA delight and a surprise, well worth an addition to your Netflix queue. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeFar 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. |
| VarietyJustin ChangIf 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. |
| HeyUGuysSteven NeishFor a film about a holiday, it's notably lacking in a final destination. |
| Hammer to NailJessica BaxterWriter/director J. Davis plays his debut film for pathos. And he pulls it off like gangbusters. |
| Film RacketJosh BellAll its disparate parts don't quite come together, but it's exactly the kind of oddball vision that might never get a major push from a brand name if not for the Duplasses. |
