Watching Neil Armfield's beautifully directed film Candy is a little like looking through a window and watching pain.
Told from Dan's point of view (the story is adapted from Luke Davies' novel), Dan and Candy want to share everything - from 'the best bits' to the rock bottom of despair.

Candy (Abbie Cornish) hopes to build a career around the childish scrawls she calls paintings.
Ledger is a mischievous boy-man, a Peter Pan-like character who can explain away the most terrible things he does and hope people will look the other way.

But these struggles are not what make this a good and sometimes wonderful film.
As for plot, all you need to know is that two young drug addicts, Candy and Dan, are in a deep love.
Abbie Cornish and Heath Ledger are wonderful.

Abbie Cornish equals the greatness of Heath and Geoffrey Rush casts a striking figure of interest within the story.....CANDY is one of the most horrible movies you will ever see..... ... Full Review

Truth be told however Candy isn't nearly as good as the two films referred to above!!
What Candy lacks is character development.
What truly sets back Candy however is the awkward pacing of the story.
notable cameo performance by Geoffrey Rush
