Elspeth Dickens dreams of finding her “voice” despite being stuck in an isolated farmhouse with her twin toddlers. A web-cam becomes her pathway to fame and fortune, but at a price.

If you have not heard about the movie Goddess, I don’t blame you, now for those of you keeping score at home the movie was inspired by Joanna Weinberg’s one woman show Sinksongs. Now, I can’t remember seeing the previews for this in the cinema and only vaguely remember it being mentioned in passing on The Project. So it seems like with most good Australian movies, I must have sneezed and missed its run at the cinema.
At the heart of it Goddess is a feel good movie (the type of thing that you can watch with the family on a Saturday Night) about how you might have already found your voice without realizing it and to make things even better there is some really great music and Magda Szubanski gave a brilliant performance.
