What We Think

'My Scientology Movie' is really not concerned with woke themes. While it critiques a specific religion, it avoids the usual identity politics and culture war trappings. Safe for non-woke audiences, unless you're particularly fond of Scientology!

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The documentary focuses more on investigating the inner workings of Scientology rather than pushing identity politics or woke narratives. Its storytelling is built around Louis Theroux's traditional investigative style, without forced representation or emphasis on diverse casting.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While critical of religion, in this case, Scientology, the film doesn't generalize about traditional values, gender roles, or Western culture as a whole. It is more of a skeptical inquiry rather than an attack on cultural or moral foundations common to mainstream society.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film approaches its subject with a clear investigative skepticism, but it doesn't hammer a modern progressive worldview or mock traditional values outside of targeted criticism of Scientology leadership. There's little sense of woke monoculture here.
