Melanie McFarland Salon.com 06/07/2024
Dancers tell powerful stories without using words. Movement is their language, their medium. Ultimately that makes “Dancing for the Devil” a fascinating awakening to the concept of media skepticism. Go to Full Review
Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 06/06/2024
This three-part documentary series tells the stories of the talented dancers who’ve stepped inside the 7M organisation with a measure of sensitivity. Go to Full Review

4/5
This documentary is a thrilling and worthwhile watch for everyone who are interested in cults and their deadly effects. Go to Full Review
James Delingpole The Spectator 06/06/2024
As often with these mini-series, there’s far too much of it (one episode would probably have been enough) and there’s a shortage of action, which generally has to be contrived. Go to Full Review
Rohan Naahar The Indian Express 06/01/2024
The filmmaking in Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult suggests that non-fiction directors these days — especially those that enter into agreements with Netflix — are inherently more suited to glossy scandal than old-fashioned drama. Go to Full Review

K R 10/07/2024 This was a very interesting documentary, and it left me wanting to know much more. There is a lot of incriminating audio of the cult leader. There are interviews with ex-cult members, those who left when they figured out that the group was a cult, and those who were on the fringe and stayed out of harm's way. There are also interviews with several family members who are concerned with their family members who are still involved in the cult today. While there are scenes of dancing and such that could have been left out, this was still a very well-done documentary. It gives you insight into how this narcissist gained power, and why people followed him. I hope this documentary helps to put this man in jail. See more Chadd J 07/13/2024 The first episode was fantastic, it captured me instantly, but after that it fell off a cliff. The second episode slowed down to almost a screeching halt and the third episode just delt with the aftereffects in a very boring way. See more Marz 06/22/2024 1 episode in and I just wanted to say these supposedly "Christian foundations" are ruining people from finding the truth Islam. The truth is Islam and do not let these bad scenarios the church, priest or general Christians deter you. And I am not trying blame all of Christianity, I have respect for the religion. People use this image far to often to deceive people and do not follow blindly just cause someone speaks of God or hides behind a religious shield. Islam ask you in regards Quran, Sunnah and religious foundation to question everything and use your logic and look for evidence. Everything we go by evidences Prophet Muhammad revelations and teachings. None of this taking advantage, holy spirit, made up dancing and practices and PRIEST THAT LITERALLY MAKING CLAIMS LIKE HE IS GOD!! Astaghfirullah. So please come and learn about it properly from the educated muslims and sources. Do not let any biases or non-muslims give you a bad idea of the religion. See more George A 06/19/2024 The story is really interesting but the delivery is very dull. Boring direction, huge scenes of filler that pulled me out of the main narrative. This would have been a very interesting 90minute film that was stretched out to make a limited series. See more Michael W @mawilps 06/18/2024 This docuseries was alright. The entire crew did a decent job of bringing this peculiar crime story to life. It was kind of dramatic and tedious. It wasn't as great as other crime docuseries that I've seen. If you haven't seen this docuseries yet, don't waste your time. It's not worth it. See more Michael C 06/12/2024 It started out so well and fell flat. The last episode turns into some weird reality t.v bit before it realised it was a documentary again then rushes though a random time line. Alot of this was beating a dead horse and could have been cut and other parts expanded upon. Looks like it was rushed out the door. See more Read all reviews
