I thought it was wonderful that this was depicted in fiction......I had not seen MY childhood religion in any film ever.

"what did she gain?"

Freedom. There is a big difference between 'seeming' happy and 'being' happy and content. Almost all cult members 'seem happy' because that's how they're programmed to appear. A great number of Jehovah's Witnesses, however, who appear happy to the public, are taking or need to take anti-depressant medication to help them cope with the near-constant cognitive dissonance in their lives. They'll call themselves 'the happiest people on earth' at the same time.
