Review of Hope Lost

Hope Lost (2015)
3/10
If you want dark, sadistically realistic, and drag-you-down, this is your movie

Warning: Spoilers
I feel first ripped off by the plot description of the front page of IMDb for this movie. Can someone PLEASE fix it??? The first several words are true, but... what the hell? There are no wishes, magic lamps, etc. OK, I was sucked in and trashed thoroughly. Congratulations.

There's forced prostitution, sex, nudity, and even lesbian themes, but there's also blood, violence, sadism, and darkest hopelessness.

I give this one 3 stars only because it keeps your attention and the acting isn't the worst ever. Otherwise, I came out of watching this a little more depressed and filthy-feeling.

Get over your self-congratulations for "emulating" real life, Hollywood. MOST of the time I go to see a movie to feel better coming out. Make me laugh, give me hope, have me cheering... for something or someone (other than a quick death for the supposedly main characters!).
