Great Film overall

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

An interesting documentary worth viewing. Seeing how ordinary people can be caught up in the web of a cult without ever realising what was truly going on. Rather a unique view from people who joined at the begining, their life inside and ultimately how they were able to break away and leave.

It's obvious that some of the people reviewing on here are defending the cult leader. If this is a real documentary, then we are dealing with a very sick individual regarding this 'leader'.You should watch this to become aware of the dangers of getting trapped within a movement like this.The documentary is well made. The filmmaker became close to the cult leader, so we are left with a lot of footage from within the group.A must watch. It is good to know that at least one more dangerous destructive narcissist has been found out. The way he manipulates people is despicable. Evil would be a good word to describe this guy.It seems that this guy is still duping and molesting followers right now. Be aware and beware.

They almost got me, I came here before watching the movie and for a minute I was convinced this was not such good movie. Still my profound curiosity about cults in general made me watch it anyways. The movie is well done and depicts what seems a really bad cult, certainly worth seeing. Clearly all this bad reviews come from cult members, as almost all claim they are not showing the other side. I have news for you guys, this is a documentary film, not the news. All is subjective , even the news are subjective. Also this man (the guru) is obviously distorted and you can see just by watching him behave it is all for real. one of the best documentaries about cults I ever seen. Only thing, I wish they brought and expert to explain how he succeeded to elicit such states in people. Worth seeing!

Frankly, I'm a bit baffled at a lot of these reviews. I have seen numerous reviews implying that these people are stupid, that this wasn't actually a cult, that men in their 20's can't be sexually abused and why didn't they "just leave" and a whole myriad of other things. I think that's a pretty ignorant perspective. Personally, I can empathize with these people on a small scale. I did not undergo the intensity that they experienced, but I was in a similar situation for about 18 years. I can tell you that anyone can get drawn in to that kind of codependent abusive cycle, given the right circumstances. It's psychological. It's not crazy. They're not stupid. It's just human behavior, when presented with the right stimulus. This documentary touched me, and shed light on so many topics surrounding abuse, trauma, codependency, cult psyche, manipulation tactics, I could go on and on. It reveals a common truth about most people, that we want to be loved, accepted and apart of something, and sometimes you get trapped in those ideals. My heart breaks for these people, and I feel angry at the comments and reviews calling them stupid and gullible. I feel like that defies the entire premise of the documentary, because I think that it broke down the exact fundamentals of how a cult works. Cults don't always start out like cults. But somewhere along the way, everything turns inside out and people are usually in too deep to see it from a rational perspective. This was a fascinating and revealing tale, and I highly recommend watching if you have any interest in psychology, sociology, religion, cults... just watch it people. And try to see through their perspective and experiences rather that judging from your own.
