Rick Groen Globe and Mail 05/21/2010
2/5
Essentially a cinematic essay that occasionally seems smart and sometimes just smart-alecky. What it never seems is emotionally engaging. Go to Full Review
Peter Howell Toronto Star 05/20/2010

Harkema's real problem is that he doesn't know which story he wants to tell, apart from taking potshots at governments, religions and ideologies he opposes. Go to Full Review
Shelagh Rowan-Legg That Shelf 05/18/2018
Complemented by solid performances by the rest of the cast, Harkema creates a campy yet believable society. Go to Full Review

Leslie, My Name is Evil is Reginald Harkema's next step in socially conscious filmmaking. Go to Full Review

The performances are suitably bizarre. What it all means is something you can go away and argue about afterward. Go to Full Review

steve d 01/20/2023 Unfocused and completely incompetent. The film feels sometimes like it wants to be a comedy and ends up just being offensive. See more 01/24/2016 Manson, My Name is Evil offers a subject whose perspective is worth being brought to the spotlight, but director Reginald Harkema is more interested in exploring the mundane politics and warfare of the 1960s, delivering a disappointingly dull -- and historically inaccurate -- biopic about a fascinating individual. See more 11/16/2014 Kristen Hager delivers a great mix of "sexy" and "sadism" in her performance as real-life murderer Leslie Van Houten, but her talent can't save Manson, My Name is Evil from its numerous inaccuracies and character omissions that misguide and bore fans of the true story. See more 07/12/2013 Excellent and off beat, this film does jump about a little so maybe a touch challenging, it looks mainly at the trial of the Manson gang, and his influence especially on Leslie, one of the followers. unsettling, but then it should be. well filmed, and well acted. See more 07/28/2012 Thankfully this was short because it was just not very good. See more 11/21/2011 interesting view, showing the events happening at the time and difficulties in self-discovery and finding the right place faced by those growing up in those times See more Read all reviews
