Review of Hard Candy (2005) by Thomas . — 09 Apr 2011
Hard Candy is a film that is based on reality, with great unexpected twists. Ellen Page has made this film a success by portraying herself as a strong, fearless character in the film. David Slade has created an intense film that has the audience on the edge of their seats. The film gives you a hint of real life events as it's based around paedophilia.
Ellen Page plays a 14 year old girl that manipulates a paedophile called Geoff with her innocence. At the start of the film, many have already planned out the plot in their minds expecting Geoff to take advantage of Ellen Page as she willingly enters his house alone. However, David Slade had cleverly shocked the audience by allowing Ellen Page to portray herself as the dominate figure in the situation.
If you love psychological twists and an intense plot then Hard Candy is a film that you should not miss.
