    Terrible movie, worse acting!

    This was a horrific, true event that was completely trivialized by how poorly the story was told! Making it even worse was Andrea Roth's "accent" that came & went throughout the movie...one of the worst attempts at a British accent EVER!

    Could have been better

    The acting, direction and screenplay could have been better. But it's worth watching because it's a relevant and fascinating true story. It's a good warning for anything that seems vaguely cult like whether it's an offshoot religious organisation or business improvement scheme. With the coverage about Leah Remini there are eerie similarities. Trust your instincts and be wary of fraudsters.

    The acting is uneven. Catherine Oxenberg herself looks great but the actress Andrea Roth playing her isn't very expressive and has a strange way of copying her accent that's hard to understand. The actress who plays India Oxenberg is pretty. All the blonde actresses look similar.

    There is a good story that in the news right now. Its just the execution felt stilted.

    Wild story, mediocre acting

    This is a wild story, a sex cult and an a fairly well known actress wrapped up in it. However, this re-enactment could have been better acted. The message was strong though, and I appreciate the struggle it must have taken to get something like this exposed.

    Like An 80s Soap Opera

    You can't have a cult without gullible people. Likewise, you can't have a great movie without good acting and professional cinematography. This film lacks both.

    Important story but....

    3 words-worst acting ever! It was very true t Catherine Oxenberg's book. It is a story that needs to be told but this movie was sooooo cheesy!

      Lauren Salzman's mother Nancy is the co-founder of NXIVM alongside Keith Raniere. During her trial, she admitted to interfering with NXIVM's perceived enemies twice. She reportedly stole the email passwords of people who were thought to oppose NXIVM, and altered tapes of herself teaching courses to be used during a lawsuit against cult deprogrammer Rick Ross, who helped NXIVM members escape.
