I disagree with the comments left so far. Going Clear gives a far more detailed account of the religion, and for that exact reason I believe Louis went down a different road when making this documentary- he couldn't just make Going Clear again, what would be the point?

I found this to be hilarious at times, and a far more real and personal account of how the church can act and intimidate. The two docs compliment each other nicely.

Any movie that takes on the ultra-creepy cult that is Scientology is A-OK in my book.

This feels a lot like The Act of Killing. Rather than go directly at the church, Louis Theroux befriends Marty Rathbun and get him to re-enact and explain the strangeness of the church and its practices. Actors re-enact "alleged" Scientology practices, and the constant interruption of random people conveniently filming and disrupting their filming makes for an interesting validation of Rathbun's paranoid behavior.

The real revelation here is that Paz de la Huerta is just as unhinged as all the characters she plays. Other than this the doco is a complete waste of time; the re-enactmant angle is a fatal misstep and all the confrontational footage, whilst mildly entertaining at first, adds absolutely nothing. Watch Going Clear instead.
