Product Description

Louis Theroux's first theatrical feature documentary, from the Oscar (TM) winning producer of SEARCHING FOR SUGARMAN and MAN ON WIRE, sees the renowned filmmaker delve into the world of Scientology, one of the world's most mysterious and powerful religions, in what he regards as the 'Holy Grail of Stories'.

With a lifetime of experience dealing with eccentric, unpalatable and unexpected human behaviour, the unassuming Theroux won't take no for an answer when his request to enter the Church of Scientology headquarters is turned down. Inspired by the Church s alleged techniques, and aided by former Scientology members-turned-whistleblowers, Theroux uses actors to recreate incidents people claim to have experienced as members in an attempt to better understand the way it operates. However, in a bizarre twist, it becomes clear that Louis is not the only one making a documentary... Suffused with a good dose of humour and moments worthy of a Hollywood script, MY SCIENTOLOGY MOVIE is as outlandish as it is revealing.

Linda Olsen

Most Useful But also Disturbing Watching Marty Rathbun Getting "Triggered".

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2022

Verified Purchase

Theroux, the presenter, is quirky and British. That's also the style of this documentary which tries to recreate what it's like to be on the inside, at the top, in "the Hole."

It honestly feels like Marty Rathbun is about to explode increasingly as the movie goes on, and I don't believe it's acting. I believe he's experiencing PTSD from his experiences both being the aggressor and being attacked while in Scientology. I gave it 3 stars only not for what it actually set out to do but what it actually did: it unwittingly documented Marty Rathbun's turning point away from fighting scientology Ultimately, he decided his only option to have a life and protect his kid and wife was to take money from Scientology and turn on his former friends on the "outside" and again have no friends on the "inside". He already says they don't have a normal life. I don't think he even expects one at the point of the movie.

Like a man who wants to go up the side of the mountain and live out his life, Rathbun took this exit point to be free from the abuses of Scientology. At one point towards the end he seems to be saying that it's like Miscavige is asking him (Rathbun) to just end it all for him (the impression I got is that Miscavige is begging Rathbun to come get him) and frightening is that he seems to be considering how to do it.
I feel compassion for Marty Rathbun even though he harmed many people. I also feel compassion for the people he harmed and ultimately this criminal organization called scientology needs to be dismantled to stop the crimes.

I gave this 3 stars not because it illuminated so much about the organization itself, but because it documents, unwittingly, the turning of Marty Rathbun from high-ranking defector to outspoken critic to actually now feeding the church information against his former friends and allies-- as in, every man for himself. A ruined life destroyed by application of scientology's priniciples and tech.

Predictably damning of Scientology, but confusing in its purpose as a film.

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2023

Verified Purchase

Louis Theroux appears to be a sweet, sincere human being that genuinely cannot wrap his mind around the narcissistic paranoia and cult pathology of Scientology. It's endearing that he sets out to give them a fair shake. However, despite the footage of Scientologists' predictable unhinged reaction to his interest, the film itself does not seem to have a clear purpose and ends up being confusing. For example, it's never explained why he hired actors to play Miscavige and Cruise and film these reenactments. It looks like he's making a movie within a movie, but then that movie doesn't seem to exist. What are we supposed to get from seeing actors play these people in short clips, when the real ones are all over the internet? What's the conclusion? I'm not upset that I watched it all the way through, but the meandering progression and lack of clarity in its reason for existing of this film is ultimately unsatisfying. I'll say this, however: if Scientology hadn't dug its own recruitment grave by now, this one did not help their image. I'd be shocked if the whole organization doesn't go out of existence within the decade.

Falls short of its intended goals. Not the best "Scientology Revealed" doc out there.

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2017

Verified Purchase

I don't think this doc ended up being the film it set out to be. It seems disjointed and I cannot tell what the theme the director was trying to get across was. If someone knows, please comment.

Personally, I'm not a religious person at all. But as an anthropology junkie, I'm fascinated by religions from how they formed, to how they sustain themselves to how they evolve and survive. I'm very interested in Scientology in this aspect. Other than Mormonism, it's the only other large, home-grown American religion. It also shares with Mormonism in that we have a lot of third-party historical information about its foundations, they're both under fire for their practices, they both are facing massive apostasy issues, and they both are sitting on billions of dollars of real estate.

This documentary doesn't touch on the foundings of the religion, if you're interested in that read 'Going Clear', the first half of that book goes into fascinating detail about this topic. Which it's HBO doc barely touches on.

This documentary focuses mainly on the biggest Scientology apostate of all time, Marty Rathbun. Now Marty is a complicated man. Though he is finally free of the cult-like religion he was shrouded in and a leader of, he still retains a lot of bizarre personality traits. He's very angry and seems to work with a different set of social rules. Rathbun's attitude issues continually get in the way of the various reenactments and whatnot the director had planned. The director chose to include these tantrums and outbursts but doesn't comment on them or fold them into an overall takeaway from his film. Seems like a missed opportunity.

I feel like the original plan was to renenact some of the stories Marty had told through his blogs and other interviews in order to bring them to life for the viewer. But in doing this, the director isn't telling us anything anyone who has read about the religion doesn't already know. And these reenactments come across as flat to me. There are also various attempts to go to Scientology properties and they get kicked out by the local sheriffs... boring.

Like I said, don't know what the point of this film was at all. It was poorly conceived around Rathbun and reenactments. There was no real theme considered. IMO, Thoreaux should have dug into Rathbun and drawn some connections about his angry and frankly debilitating personally and his religious indoctrination and life inside the upper echelons of the church. There is a clear irony in that a religion that is centered around mental conditioning and tapping into potential mental powers should produce such socially impotent men as Rathbun.

Cult exposing at its best!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 28, 2016

Verified Purchase

Just watched this on Prime. As always with Louis an excellent documentary film that attempts to shine a light on the dangerous cult of Scientology and the brutal practices and methods of its reclusive leader, as told by former cult leaders who lived through it and managed to escape. The film shows how the cult attempts to intimidate and harrass Louis during his filming because the one thing cults don't like is to be challenged, questioned or confronted..especially this one! They just accuse everyone who criticises or questions them as suppressors or haters but will never open their doors to show the world what is really going on. Cults have taken many forms over the years and indeed centuries but if you had any doubts if this one falls into that category, just watch this and few doubts will remain. Well done Louis as always for not backing down and trying to expose these brainwashed cult morons for what they really are.

Die Sekte und der Verfolgungswahn

Reviewed in Germany on October 28, 2019

Verified Purchase

Wie irre die Verfolgungssucht von Feinden der Scientology ist, zeigt dieses Video sehr gut. Deren Bosse haben eine Paranoia der Verfolgung von Außen und aber eine vielfach indoktrinierte Sucht, andere zu verfolgen. Und dieses faschistoide Verhalten wird deren Mitglieder eingebläut. Der Regisseur wollte eigentlich eine Doku über die Art der scientologischen Bilderwelt erstellen. Fehlanzeige: Er wurde sofort von schwarzen SUVs verfolgt und immer mehr bedroht. Alles wurde gefilmt und das Drehbuch dahingehend geändert. Wer mit Sekten und faschistoiden Gruppen zu tun hat oder an deren Methoden interessiert ist, sollte sich das Video ansehen. Teilweise enthält es unglaubliche Szenen.

Not Quite What You Would Expect

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

While entartaining, the feature lenght documentary didn't quite live up to my expectations of Louis Theroux. As the other reviewers have said, the movie drifts endlessly and goes nowhere. Louis Theroux keeps on scratching the surface but never gets past the facade. I hope Louis gets his act together for the next documentary. This was a large, disappointing wasted opportunity. To be honest, I would love to see Louis do something to the tune "Tickled", a documentary I personally believe to be the best of the year 2016.

Louis: please bring us something new. Something we have never seen before. A topic that dazzles us. Freek us out. Do what you once did best. Come up with something genuinely novel that both shocks and awes the viewer.
