Two brothers end their affair when their father dies. When they reunite for their mother's funeral, the unrelenting love they share threatens to reveal their buried secret.
Godless (2015)
“About family, love, and secrets. The story follows the two brothers who have an affair and end it when their father dies. When they reunite for their mother’s funeral, the deep love they have for each other threatens to reveal the secret they have been keeping. It’s a story of how difficult it can be to keep secrets and the emotional toll it takes on the people involved.”
Surprised and glad that a made in USA film touches such a taboo subject that most filmmakers would not dare to touch. Sad that although being an Indie film, the creators decided to give it a Hollywood morality lesson- reproving- do the right thing ending. I would have given it 10 stars if it had ended more honestly. I am used to unhappy endings, I am used to tragedies, I love Romeo and Juliet but given the strong love between the two main characters and not real obstacles, there is not a reason for the movie ending the way it does, like if the pain of the loss of such a beautiful love, forbidden by conventional society but still beautiful, could be relieved in a few minutes with a pill like if it was a simple headache. If you liked this movie, you should watch the Brazilian “From Beginning to End”
