If we think it's about Scientology then they already do too

How could a man say he has a boss and be proud?
i can see why people would say its based on scientology but honestly, its a reach. its not as thin like that. its actually character driven movie with all kinds of complex layers.
Def gonna watch that and can't wait
looks like its gonna crush the buildings. phoenix and hoffman prolly put they foot all up in this movies ass
really? really?
that's all you gonna give us?
I saw it last night, and after thinking about much of last night and this morning, that's all I got too: interesting.
I liked it a lot (not as much as There Will Be Blood or Boogie Nights tho). It'll probably be a top contender for Best Picture, and Phoenix will probably win Best Actor. But the movie is so dense, both in dialogue and structure, that it's tough articulating complete thoughts about it. I'm fine with that, although I'm sure I'll be in the minority. This is the kind of movie that many people will be posting threads come Oscar time talking about how overrated it is and saying it shouldn't even be nominated and yada yada yada.
I'll probably see it again before the year is up. The ending really had me miffed, but two scenes I loved were..
the no-blinking interrogation scene with Phoenix and Hoffman, and the jail scene. Phoenix is incredible in the latter scene.

if it's exposing those weirdos i'm in..
I should warn y'all. This movie isn't really about Scientology or even cults in general. It's just a framework for the real story, which is the relationship between the psychotic Phoenix and the cult leader Hoffman.
If you go in expecting Scientology to get "exposed" you're gonna come out disappointed, I guarantee it.

Saw this last night and was not impressed. The actors gave good performances and there were some moments but its incoherent and boring. Maybe PTA heads dig it but those moments where he slows the pace to a crawl put me to sleep.
This.
Had me like
But both performances were unreal.
I felt like a couple scenes were awkward and seemed to have little bearing on the rest of the film/story. Not entirely sure what to make of it though...
I definitely enjoyed it...but definitely feel like it's behind several of PTA's other films. Especially There Will Be Blood and Boogie Nights...which are two of the best films made in the last 20 years.
It's a lot like Magnolia in that so much of it was so great and parts of it were more like
IDK yet
