my scientology movie
“A truly fearsome performance from actor Andrew Perez.”
“Riveting — not least because the team’s chosen thesp, Andrew Perez, is so chillingly persuasive as the religion’s externally glib but possibly paranoid leader. Astonishing performances in documentary re-enactments are rare indeed, but Perez barrels in as a man possessed, seemingly channeling several “Glengarry Glen Ross” characters at once and lending gravity...”
“That’s where Andrew Perez, a gifted, intense Los Angeles stage actor, steps into the film and delivers its most dazzling moments… a violent Miscavige freak-out in a corporate office, in which Perez becomes possessed by a bullying rage that’s truly terrifying to watch. Even in straight dramas, you’re not likely to see a scene as live-wire and treacherous as this one.”
“Andrew Perez captures the zealous set of Miscavige’s features uncannily, and imagines his leaps to fury with disconcerting plausibility... which gives such sequences a bit more of a meaningful thrust.”
