Review of Hard Candy (2005) by Larissa M — 11 Dec 2011
Hard Candy is a fairly dark and disturbing movie. Ellen Page delivers a pretty chilling performance, blending the cuteness and intelligence of her usual roles with a coldness and viciousness we're not used to seeing from her.
Patrick Wilson also does a great job here, especially in some of the more emotionally charged scenes. There are some scenes that just make you cringe as you are watching, especially during the "operation".
Story-wise, Hard Candy is pretty gripping as you never really no what to think. Is Geoff as bad as you are made to think at times or is Haley taking her punishment too far? I like that there is some ambiguousness here and the viewer can draw some of their own conclusions.
Check this out.
