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

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

[Going Clear] doesn't merely peek under the church's zealously maintained guise. It disrobes this controversial religion to reveal an emperor without clothes, an organization that runs on fear and weakness.

Gibney's documentary outlines that bad things are happening around Scientology. But since the dawn of humankind, people have done horrible things in the name of all religions.
