My Scientology Movie

I am a huge fan of Louis and the work he has done throughout the years. His films are often incisive and enjoyable to watch. His bumbling persona belies a sharp mind. He had a tough nut to crack here. The Church of Scientology is notoriously closed off to outsiders and Louis struggled to get in to interview current members of the church. Still, he provides a great documentary using the insights of ex-members to bring to light some of the alleged practices of the church. The church typically complained about what Louis was doing; If they had let him into the church to meet active members then they would have had a better opportunity to show themselves in a better light. As it is, their constant belittling of ex-members and antagonism towards Louis shows them for who they possibly really are. All documentary makers who have tried to discover more about the church have been forced into a one-sided approach because the 'other' side have been closed off and negative.
