Plot
This is a documentary about Scientology and the feel around the church (and members).
Rating Criteria
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.
4/5 - This is just a documentary about one of the most secretive churches in the history of the United States, the church of Scientology. Unfortunately, it is so secretive that Louis Theroux could not show more information about the church and instead showed how the members react to outsiders poking around their turf.
It was strange to hear the emotional abuse from the members of the church because it made me question if this was in fact a "good church"/religious organization. In my personal opinion, I would have to say that any religion that is supposed to be "the one" religion, but does stuff that is not pro-love/pro-affirmation, should not be considered "the one" religion. Just like the idea that forcing one to give the dirt on their lives makes the member a better person - eww; but then they take that dirt to keep you loyal to the church (double eww).
Anyways, this is an interesting view on the way Scientology works or at least shows themselves to outsiders. Feel free to take a look at it if you wish!
Thank you for reading! More reviews to come eventually.
