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".

Rating: 7/10 --
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.

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.

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

Gibney makes another attempt to hole and sink [Scientology]. Hooray for him.

Rating: Recommended --
Amongst a field of analysis which examines Scientology as a cabal of rich wackos gone wild on the taxpayer's dime, Going Clear thrives.

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