Let’s Start A Cult is fantastic and worth watching every second of the hour-and-a-half runtime.

Rated: 9/10

The Weekend Warrior (Substack)

A quirky comedy likely to grow on you, even if there are moments that are quite cringe-worthy.

Rated: 6.5/10

Let’s Start a Cult is based upon an alternately wacky and alarming idea that, thankfully, the filmmakers mine for most of its potential.

Refreshingly zany and amusing, but not very funny, bold, witty or clever.

Let's Start a Cult is ridiculous and over-the-top at times, but there's a level of understanding for its despairing characters that keeps it grounded.

Rated: 3/4

I’m a big fan of Stavy, so I was willing to go out and give it a try. There were one or two small laughs in the first 5-10 minutes, but after that it got really rough. Cringy and slow. I wanted to get up and leave, but was hoping it would turn around. It did not. Stavros is great in “Tires”, but this just isn’t it.
