Chaos: The Manson Murders, directed by Errol Morris, explores the infamous Tate-LaBianca murders but initially feels like a recap of familiar events. It only gains depth midway when focusing on Tom O'Neill, the author revealing his personal journey and skepticism about the official narrative. Morris's signature style, such as interviews and archival footage, emerges later, highlighting O'Neill's obsessive quest for truth amidst a well-trodden story. The documentary presents familiar facts while delving into the complexity behind them through O'Neill's evolving perspective.
I still don't know what happened, but I know that what we were told isn't what happened.
The film initially feels like mere details of the notorious murders, lacking the depth that Errol Morris usually brings.
