Through different eyes

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

In The Goddess of Fortune, Ferzan Özpetek takes on families built beyond biological ties and the shapes love takes over time. Opening up the crisis of a fifteen-year relationship through children who suddenly enter the couple's life is an effective dramaturgical move: the crisis stops being an abstract argument and is tested by daily responsibilities. Edoardo Leo and Stefano Accorsi convincingly carry the weariness of a couple whose passion has turned into affection. Still, the tone, swinging between romantic comedy and drama, isn't always balanced, and the 114-minute running time can feel stretched in the middle. Satisfying for those who like Özpetek's emotional generosity, limited for those wanting a tighter cut.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humour and heart.

The Goddess of Fortune speaks mainly to adults. It's about a couple of fifteen years going through a relationship crisis and the responsibility of looking after a friend's children. The children matter a lot in the story, but this isn't a kids' film; the relationship arguments may feel dull or heavy for little ones. The message that family isn't only about blood is a lovely one. Suits adults and older teens.
