How to Use Dianetics

About This Movie

How to Use Dianetics is this curious 33-part documentary that dives deep into the world of Dianetics therapy. The tone is a blend of earnest exploration and, at times, a bit of the surreal—kind of like peeling back the layers of a complex onion. You get a sense of its pacing as it unravels concepts slowly, making you ponder the effects on the human mind. The performances are pretty much straightforward, but there's a certain atmosphere that hangs around it, almost like you're in a seminar rather than just watching a film. What's interesting is how it tries to present its themes with visuals that sometimes feel fantastical, adding a layer of intrigue. It’s distinctive, not just for its content but how it invites you into this unconventional world.
