1/10
Did not give all sides of the story, seemed biased.

In this film I did not see any solid information on what's going on with Scientology right now, today. Everyone in this film seemed to have been a member years ago. Where were the interviews with current Scientologists? Also, everyone Gibney showed seemed to have an ax to grind -- ex-wives, former executives, people who ran away from Scientology, etc. If you are doing a documentary on the Republican party you would probably talk with some current Republicans, not just folks who moved on to the Democratic party or turned Independent. For solid documentary work I look for example to someone such as Ken Burns and his body of work. I have many friends who are Scientologists and I do not see in them or their lives what this film purports to show. I am open minded enough to look closely at anything before I make a decision about it, whether that be a documentary film, a religion or a political party.
