Goddess of Love (2015)

Having found out that her boyfriend is cheating on her, a drug addict and mentally unstable woman starts losing sense of reality.

I find it intriguing when people ask me about films I am unaware of, and then I wonder, “Why don’t I know it”? Well, I don’t want to brag too much, but there is a good reason most of the time. Of course, I have found myself oblivious to films I should have known. Hence, I watch more or less many of the films people suggest I should “definitely” watch.

Goddess of Love is a pseudo-neo-noir that I should not definitely watch. Playing around with words, I could have said it’s a film that I should definitely not watch. But I’m not gonna put it that way. I just found it awkward, meaningless, and boring. Admittedly, I don’t know anyone from the cast or crew, so I can’t comment on their past work. What I do know, though, is that if I had a girlfriend like Alexis Kendra, I wouldn’t cheat on her (even with Elizabeth Sandy).

In all fairness, I have never cheated, and if I haven’t done it so far, I will most definitely not do it in the future. The film touches on infidelity, abandonment, mental illness, drug and alcohol abuse, and eroticism. Still, it doesn’t explore any of it, approaching seriously epidemically the human relationships, making every character unlikable, unrelatable, indifferent, pitiful, and I’ll dare to say hateable. Even Venus – not the cat, luv…

I know, there is a twist. But by that point, it is a bit too late for the viewer. Just to finish on a positive note, Kendra and Sandy are playing their parts quite well.
