Alas, Alex Gibney's Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief is merely a competent and informative documentary, a snappy collation of everything you've already heard and read about L Ron Hubbard's dubious money-spinning, ahem, "religion". June 25, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Gibney is too subtle and diligent a film-maker to indulge in a one-sided hatchet-job. The tone of Going Clear is inquisitive, not sensationalist. June 25, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

A compelling documentary which doesn't need to work too hard to out the sheer absurdity and 'Emperor's New Clothes' air that hangs over the whole Scientology movement. November 11, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The picture it manages to assemble packs such a punch that it gives new meaning to "going clear." Jaw-dropping, indeed. August 2, 2017 | Full Review…

Amongst a field of analysis which examines Scientology as a cabal of rich wackos gone wild on the taxpayer's dime, Going Clear thrives. March 27, 2017 | Rating: Recommended | Full Review…

It's a grand history lesson, and an impressively vigorous op-ed; but is it cinema? Reader, I do not wish to say that it is. July 10, 2016 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

Gibney boils it down with skill, his cutting, construction, graphics, and score smoothly and seductively encapsulating Scientology's appeal. May 30, 2016 | Full Review…
