As seen at Birmingham's excellent Electric cinema yesterday.
Documentarian Louis Theroux is in particularly puckish form as he explores rumours that Scientology frontman David Miscavige isn't quite the benevolent soul his devoted (and not at all brainwashed) followers would have you believe. The setup is cute - Theroux claims to be producing a drama on the subject, auditioning actors to play Miscavige and notable proponent Tom Cruise and then having them enact scenes scripted by former chief enforcer Marty Rathbun. These make for chilling watching, but there's plenty of light relief available watching Theroux have the time of his life when the real deal shows up to make a scene.
