- Everlasting love in a vial
'Candy' is an Australian film, a love story between two junkies. The movie divides itself into three parts: Heaven, Earth, and He||. Dan (played by talented and memorable Heath Ledger - RIP Heath) and Candy (Abbie Cornish) have a love that's true. Their highs are high and their lows are low. At one point, after spiking up and nodding off during their wedding reception at Candy's parents, they sit outside McDonald's sipping chocolate shakes and declaring "We're the coolest people at McDonald's". ...

- An Absolutely Beautiful Movie
I finally got the chance to watch "Candy" with Heath Ledger (R.I.P. Heath) and Abbie Cornish and I loved it. Very intense. You can't help but fall in love and feel the emotions of these characters as they go through the struggles of drug addiction, love, life and loss. I am so glad I have added this to my movie collection.

- Heath Ledger was the Joker.
Listen - The bottom line is this:

I have not watched "Candy" yet, nor do I plan to. I bought it because Heath Ledger played the Joker in one of the best movies ever made (The Dark Knight) and I wanted to let you all know... in case you hadn't heard.

- Powerful performances
is why I'm giving this film 4 stars. I rented this, wanting to see Heath Ledger's work in the film...and on the strentgh of his performance alone...I can recommend this. It is difficult and almost haunting to watch, knowing this was one of his last films. I found it to be a very true and realistic story of love...and drugs...and the affect drugs have on their lives in the story. Dan and Candy (the actress who played Candy also gave gave a very strong performance) had so much potential...she was an artist, ... Read More

- Prophetic, Beautiful, Honest, & Heartbreaking
Reminiscent of Aleister Crowley's novel Diary of a Drug Fiend, Candy is a work of art. Those who have actually felt the gnawing desperation along with the highs of love and drug addiction will appreciate this film for it's authenticity and vulnerability. When one is addicted to anyone or anything nothing else matters, literally. Reviewers using the word cliche feel pretty clever I imagine. However there are no cliches in this movie for this is exactly how it is. The physical and emotional torture these two ... Read More
