Review of Candy

Candy (2006)
6/10
Requiem for a Dream lite, now with 75% less plot!
31 August 2006
Expect a movie like Requiem with fewer psychological maneuvers, fewer plot lines, and overall, less to relate to. Takes a few emotional cheap hits (shocking events, graphic events) to mimic more subtle suspense and trauma, but overall ends up feeling like it was ineptly produced. Great cast with some reasonable acting, but everything else leaves the plot behind in quality.

Watching this movie may leave you with less the haunting feelings of loss and the violence of a drug ridden life, and more a feeling of witnessing a terrible accident.

Avoid it unless it's on HBO or cable for free.
