MY SCIENTOLOGY MOVIE<\/strong>
\nMagnolia Pictures<\/strong>
\nReviewed by: Harvey Karten, Shockya<\/strong>
\nGrade: B<\/strong>
\nDirector: John Dower <\/strong>
\nWriter: Louis Theroux, John Dower<\/strong>
\nCast: Rob Alter, Tom Cruise, Paz de la Huerta, Tom De Vocht, Jefferson Hawkins, Marc Headley, Steven Mango, Andrew Perez, Marty Rathbun, Stacia Roybal, Conner Stark, Louis Theroux<\/strong>
\nScreened at: Review 1, NYC, 2\/22\/17<\/strong>
\nOpens: March 10, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Scientology Church lucked out when Tom Cruise took up membership, but Cruise\u2019s wife, Katie Holmes, was not too excited when church members moved into their Los Angeles home to cater to the actor\u2019s every whim.\u00a0 They split, with Holmes worrying that she could wind up like Nicole Kidman, with a daughter whom Scientology turned against her. While neither Katie Holmes nor her child Suri is mentioned in John Dower\u2019s documentary, the unusual satiric bent of the movie comes primarily out of the dialogues between co-writer Louis Theroux\u2014whose script for the film makes Theroux and not director Dower the real heavy\u2014and Marty Rathbun.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy Scientology Movie,\u201d which bears a title that projects its farcical nature, is the second attempt to scorch what rational people consider an almost insane cult passing for a religion.\u00a0 Alex Gibney\u2019s \u201cGoing Clear,\u201d which hit the theaters in March 2015, proved a chilling exposure of the cult.\u00a0 Dower\u2019s film is different, though it uncovers not a great deal more than Gibney, in is its entertainment value.\u00a0 Eschewing the deadening talking-heads stereotype that keeps rank-and-file audiences away from the multiplex whenever a documentary is shown, Theroux has actors re-enact scenes based on the testimony of Mark \u201cMarty\u201d Rathbun, formerly a number two officer of the rich and surprisingly tax-exempt \u201creligion.\u201d\u00a0 There’s an awful lot of energy toward the conclusion in the illustration of what goes on in the \u201cHole,\u201d a claustrophobic room in which CEO David Miscavige (Andrew Perez) gives hell to the assemblage of live-in members, cursing up a storm, forcing some to crawl on the floor, breaking signs, and roughing up the people.\u00a0 Allegedly these members had no alternative other than to take this guff since they had little idea how the real, outside world works and would not know even how to open a bank account.<\/p>\n

Another bizarre scenes takes place when Theroux interviews Rathbun in a hotel room and a bikini-clad woman (Paz de la Huerta) appears with a demand that they stop filming.\u00a0 She also advises them that she\u2019s an actress.\u00a0 Yet most of the humor occurs when Rathbun and Theroux and a small film crew arrive at a public road that Scientology claims to own: a man operating as a security guard picks up his own movie camera to film Theroux while Theroux is filming him.\u00a0 We learn that the suits at Scientology are planning their own documentary: about Louis Theroux.<\/p>\n

I wish that Theroux would give his thoughts on why people, particularly in L.A., would join such a \u201cchurch,\u201d though some think it\u2019s because young people who visit Hollywood with the aim of becoming actors are almost inevitably disappointed, and this regret leads them into such a group. If so, why Tom Cruise?\u00a0 And why would the executives be so threatened by Theroux?\u00a0 Are they as thin-skinned as our President Trump, who has stated that Saturday Night Live is \u201cnot funny?\u201d\u00a0 A better policy would have been to welcome the satirists into the church to show that it\u2019s just another regular religion for people who did not find peace in the conventional faiths.\u00a0 But then, there would be no \u201cMy Scientology Movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unrated.\u00a0 99 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong>
