Fred (Joseph Estrade) has just broken up with his girlfriend Elisia
(Linnea Gregg) to find enlightment, and that's a journey he doesn't want
her to join ... and this is something that absolutely breaks Elisia - but
breaks her in a very weird way, she really seems to go insane: She thinks
she hears the voice of God, the neighbour's dog starts talking to her, as
does a garden gnome she seems to be unable to get rid of, and a weird
telemarketer starts to stalk her, calling all hours of day and night and
becoming more and more threatening in the process. Her friends start to
worry about her and try to help her in various ways, from getting her
dates to treating her with hallucinogenic drugs, but nothing works in the
least. Thing is, Elisia knows what she's going through isn't normal, and
she actively seeks help, first from a weird doctor of parapsychology
(Collin Galyean) then a shaman (Andre LaSalle) even, but nothing seems to
work. But while Elisia might think she's going crazy, there might just
might something going on in her world that's just - well, slightly insane
... Ok, I'm the first to admit, the plot of The God Inside
My Ear does not make perfect sense - but that's a good thing for a
change, because the movie tells a truly unique story that's a surreal
blend of melodrama, psycho thriller, horror, conspiracy theory flick and
who knows what else, but it's told in such an engaging way that it totally
succeeds in creating a world all of its own, thanks to a clever and subtle
directorial effort that puts storytelling over spectacle invariably, but
also thanks to a very strong central performance by Linnea Gregg, who
really manages to handle everything thrown in her way and carry the movie. Now
granted, not a film for everybody as it demands quite a bit of suspension
of disbelief, but if you like your entertainment slighty surreal, then
this one's a must-see!
