My Scientology Movie Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Godfrey Cheshire
While My Scientology Movie provides a very entertaining tour of some of the questions that swirl around Scientology, viewers who've followed the story through the years will find little that's new or unexpected.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
This stunt-driven nonfiction project rearranges the well-reported dirt on the church, placing it into the context of something considerably less useful: a documentary about how hard it is to make a documentary about Scientology.
Entertainment Weekly
Joe McGovern
One of the best documentaries of the year.
Slant Magazine
Jake Cole
The only element that significantly differentiates this documentary from its peers is Louis Theroux's good-natured cheekiness.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
There's not a lot of shockingly new information per se, but watching Theroux filming covert Scientologists while they in turn film him, and so on, has its own sort of meta-charm.
The Atlantic
Sophie Gilbert
My Scientology Movie, the newest film by the British documentarian Louis Theroux, vibrates with effort-with machinations and stunts and stitch ups that all seem intent on producing an "aha" moment that remains tantalizingly out of reach.
Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
New look at well-charted territory adds just enough to justify its existence.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
Theroux raises troubling questions about psychological warfare and how devoutness shades into fanaticism.
Film Journal International
Nick Schager
Heavy on gimmicks, light on revelations.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
At times it plays like an extended skit on "The Daily Show"; yet its disorder also makes its insights - like how strongly the church's training sessions resemble acting classes - feel refreshingly organic.
Village Voice
Daphne Howland
The film's a little choppy as Theroux takes side trips to interview other former Scientologists, but it comes together as a chilling look at America's most famous 20th-century homegrown religion.
MLive.com
John Serba
(Theroux) doesn't really get anywhere in his attempts to discuss and understand Scientology, but his exploration is nonetheless entertaining.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
Between the oddball set pieces and documentary muckraking, Theroux is slyly exploring the psychopathy at the heart of this organization.
The Young Folks
Lesley Coffin
... on its small scale it is one of the most entertaining and fun documentary watches in years.
Paste Magazine
Brogan Morris
My Scientology Movie isn't particularly deep-Alex Gibney's Going Clear comfortably remains the definitive film on this subject-but Theroux tackles what you might already know in a wryly compelling way.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Philip Martin
Despite the disingenuous premise, the movie stands as an entertaining and alarming companion to Gibney's more comprehensive Going Clear (which was in production about the same time).
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A wild, riveting and illuminating roller coaster ride with twists and turns along the way
MetroActive
Richard von Busack
My Scientology Film's novelty is it finds a bleak humor in the problems of a reporter trying to crack a stone wall.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
What it lacks in original insight, this documentary compensates with an amusing dose of mischievous audacity.
Spokesman-Review (Washington)
Dan Webster
He's not content to copy Alex Gibney, whose 2015 documentary [Going Clear] provides a stunning inside look at the religion... No, Dower is more of an entertainer, and he imbues his storytelling style with a somewhat lighter touch.
