TheOneThatYouWanted Review of My Scientology Movie

My Scientology Movie (2015)

Answers all your questions about Scientology. Finally.

[10/10 · 13 October 2016]

Holy sh!t it is good. It is really good. This isn't the first documentary I've seen about Scientology but it maybe the best. Between this one and Going Clear, all your questions about the super secretive organization of Scientology are finally answered. The documentary Going Clear tells you about the history of Scientology but doesn't make you learn about it on a personal level or feel what it is about or why people are willing to not only join but stay in it. At first I thought the film was going to be dumb, they were casting actors to play some of Scientology's key figures but then you quickly learn why.. because they want YOU to feel what it is like to be a part of Scientology. You literally witness what it is like becoming a Scientologist and get to see the emotional roller-coaster of manipulation and feelings. One scene is so visceral for a former Scientologist to witness that he literally could not watch these actors acting out a simple scene. It was crazy but so powerful. I always wondered why people join Scientology and how they keep their members, and now I know. Unlike other documentaries where they tell you about the answers, this documentary shows you the answers. Brilliant.
