"Goodness what was this movie? Joaquin Phoenix is an underrated actor for sure but this movie is the most slow and boring movie ever. Torture "

"Post WW2 film, though it’s not typical. It’s not wholesome and it stands out among other movies focused on that period. It has rawness that’s driven by Joaquin Phoenix and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. It was recommended to me on the merit of both of them, and I wasn’t disappointed or bored at any point... rather, I was waiting for what they would do next (as individuals and co-characters).
As I was watching I realized that it seemed to be based on Scientology’s beginnings and L. Ron Hubbard as its leader. I found conflicting answers when I looked for the answer to that question. Watch it and draw your own conclusions.
Regardless of who says what about the Scientology question, I’m glad I watched it."
