My Scientology Movie

Documentary

Louis documents his investigation into what goes on behind the scenes of the infamous church of scientology.

The critical consensus

Louis Theroux offers his own idiosyncratic take on the controversial religion.

***(*)(*)Eddie Harrison, The List, 03/10/2016

Theroux’s first big-screen doc is an entertaining affair, peppered with surreal moments and wry wit, but its elusive subject remains out of reach.

***(*)(*)Phil De Semlyen, Empire Online, 03/10/2016

Parts of the film are playful and funny but there are very unsettling moments.

****(*)Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent, 05/10/2016

It’s when the church starts making its own film about Theroux that it exposes how paranoid it is as an organisation as various high-level flunkies meet their match in Theroux’s calm, collected and actually very respectful approach.

****(*)Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman, 05/10/2016

All sorts of weird stuff starts happening as Theroux reiterates the sheer nastiness of the organisation in his provocative documentary.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 07/10/2016

Chilling in places, entertaining at times but not completely satisfying.

***(*)(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 07/10/2016

Louis Theroux plays this setup- and stunt-driven documentary for laughs.
