Rating: 4/5 --
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.

Rating: 2/5 --
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".

Going Clear offers gossipy elements... but its power is in the accumulated evidence of so many voices.

Gibney boils it down with skill, his cutting, construction, graphics, and score smoothly and seductively encapsulating Scientology's appeal.

Flavorwire
The picture it manages to assemble packs such a punch that it gives new meaning to "going clear." Jaw-dropping, indeed.

It's not a sense of outrage that viewers are left with. It's sadness.

Rating: 3/5 --
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.
