      Jorge Ignacio Castillo The Canadian Crew The documentary does a superb job depicting the nebulous area in which Patrick operated. Deprogrammed also establishes the need of a new strategy...fascinating stuff. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 30, 2020 Full Review C.J. Prince Way Too Indie It's disappointing, although Donovan gets enough information out of her interview subjects that Deprogrammed never gets dull. Jun 3, 2019 Full Review Adam A. Donaldson We Got This Covered For anyone interested in the notion of how belief can corrupt as well as save, or perhaps hold a more extreme atheistic view of any organized faith, then this is the documentary for you. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 7, 2016 Full Review Kathryn Greenaway Montreal Gazette Donovan's film would have been interesting enough if it were just a history lesson, but it goes deeper, exploring the eerie disconnect that takes place when people hand over the reins of their brains to an outside force. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 17, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

      ian t Very interesting subject matter but very unstructured film making. It doesn't seem like a story or a perspective just a series of scenes. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member In the early 70's-80's at the height of "New Religious Movements" parents get Ted Patrick to "deprogram" their adult children from being in a cult. Kidnapping, brainwashing, intimidation - that's not just the cult's method, it's Ted Patrick's method! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
