This is not a bad movie, considering it was made for TV and much of the story is already known.
Charles Manson was a sociopath who spent most of his live in prison, and who hitched along on the hippie movement of the sixties. His long hair, guitar and "philosophy" were props he used to act out his messed up psyche.
Having said that, while not a bad movie, it is just not particularly gripping, because most of their victims are innocent bystanders. Who are you going to root for?
I think the acting was pretty good to reasonable. If you are interested in true crime, see it if is on TV, but don't pay money for it.
