Lots of reviews by cult members
I don’t review movies here BUT I read the extremely negative reviews and was curious. All were by new members with this being either their only review or maybe one or two additional ones done soon after to legitimize their reviewing credentials. Obvious plants by the still faithful. Sadly they are still out there.Their reviews did not have the result intended. They piqued my curiosity and I sought out this film. If you are fascinated by cults or a fan of documentaries seek this film out. It’s a rare thing to have this much inside footage of a cult leader and his followers in action. To outsiders the machinations of this vain Svengali seem transparent and obvious. So vain that he was the one who had all of this footage shot. Meeting the members you gain insight, sympathy and understanding as to how and why seemingly intelligent, aware individuals can be swept up by someone and something like this.
The film is well constructed, clear, emotional and does have a point of view. That point of view is what gives this film it’s fire and passion. It’s made by ex cult members and boy are they angry. It doesn’t pretend to be a cold, objective view on what went on there and I think it is better for it. Imagine a film about Scientology made by angry ex-members or a film about the Manson family made by a disillusioned, embarrassed, remorseful ex-member. Oh the truths we’d learn!
My only complaint is that I wanted a cathartic confrontation with the cult leader at the end. There is a confrontation but it seems muted and sad rather than explosive and angry.
See this well made documentary if you can. It’s an eight but I’m giving it a ten to counterbalance those idiotic one star reviews.
A Dumb Bernie Madoff type Meets Dumber Stooges
A fascinating yet morbid documentary type movie showing how a cult leader is able to manipulate a group of gullible young people to be his slaves and do whatever he wishes.The cult leader is a ludicrous drama queen like figure who is probably insane. He is totally repulsive and devotedly self-centered; he has found a way to spent his life doing whatever pleasures suit himself to the detriment of those stupid enough to view him seriously. The followers-so called- are on the whole a bunch of ever so weak individuals needing to find meaning in their lives so that plays into the hands of the lunatic leading them.
I do not wish to be unsympathetic to the victims but I ask rhetorically who in their right mind would fall for such nonsense?
The maker of the film is also one of the followers and even if there may be some lack of independent reporting there is no doubt the “master” is a criminal and ought to be in prison….
