About this movie

Documentarian Louis Theroux is denied admittance to the Church of Scientology's headquarters, setting into motion a clever, confrontational and funny plan to try and reveal the inner workings of the mysterious organization. Inspired by the Church’s use of filmmaking techniques, and with the aid of real ex-scientologists, Theroux uses unconventional methods to expose and antagonize the Church. In a bizarre twist, it becomes clear that the Church is also making a film about Louis Theroux. Infused with a good dose of humor and moments worthy of a Hollywood script, My Scientology Movie is stranger than fiction.

DISAPPOINTED! I have been a fan of Louis Theroux for years and had high expectations for this movie. First thought when it was over was there's 99 mins I'll never get back. Absolutely no new information. It didn't seem to tell a story. It felt like it was chaotically edited and at times just putting in scenes to make it longer. found it especially ridiculous that it had more time showing the auditions then there were reenactments. Save your money wait for it to show up on cable or just watch the series Leah remini did.

These people remind me of the people who draped up in black cloaked clothes with black and white Nikes on and killed themselves to catch a ride on Hale Bop the comet in the 90's. I am sure if Scientology survives LRH will have parted seas and built an ark and became the maker of climate change and rogue waves

Boring film. I really like the scientology documentary going clear on HBO and was hoping for more insight. This felt like watching a bad casting call video.
