Review of Candy (2006) by Aurora1 — 05 May 2022
Heroine could be a pretty bad thing if you are not a rockstar, as to say a person rich enough to pay for your addiction without losing your dignity, and Candy makes the point pretty clear. But not every junkie turned to drug because of a terrible childhood, as Candy seems to suggest - sadly, even the most normal child raised by the most normal family can lose their mind because of love, and become an addict.
The way Candy's father is depicted ruins an otherwise excellent movie poisoning it with that old fashioned melodramatic style that afflicts a big part of Australian cinematography. Luckily, Heath Ledger and Abbie Cornish are so brilliant that a few little mistakes are easily forgotten.
I give an 8, but it could have been a 9.
