Candy

In the mood for that classic story of boy-meets-girl, boy-and-girl fall in love, boy-and-girl start shooting heroin together, boy-and-girl's lives start spinning out of control, boy-and-girl's lives are ruined?

Then look no further, Candy may be just the movie for you! Starring the late Heath Ledger in a stellar (and in light of his mode of departure from this world, somewhat ironic) role as the loving but drug-addicted boyfriend/husband of the beautiful and tragic Candy (Abbie Cornish), this is basically a heroin-took-my-life-away movie for anyone who can't stomach Requiem for a Dream. Great performances from the main actors, but not the greatest or most original of story lines. Still, a noble effort.

6.75/10
