Watch Candy For Free

Let's be realistic.

Best movie of this year hands down!

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

This is my first review on a movie here, and I'll tell you why..Candy was a movie I struggled to watch at times, not because of the pacing, but because Heath Ledger and Abbie Cornish brought an uncanny dimension of realism to create this story of two drug addicts that live for each other and the conflicting addiction that fuels their abusive relationship.There was a particular hospital scene that had me straining in my chair.. the performance by these two is hard to put in words. Just a truly phenomenal screen presence. Far from a light-hearted film I recommend this to anyone who wants to confront the reality of drug use and the repercussions they have on your life and those around you.Haunting and just belligerent at its core. Cinema perfected.

Poetic Dan (Heath Ledger) is in love with painter Candy (Abbie Cornish) and candy of the heroin kind. Casper (Geoffrey Rush) is their drug mentor. The couple falls deeper and deeper under the influence of drugs. They borrow money, steal and get married. They get into prostitution. They try and fail to get clean. All the while, their world continues to fall apart.These are two beautiful people in a dreamy drug haze. The whole movie is filled with a haze. The couple is a pair of whiners who won't let the audience root for them. There is a lack of intensity. There isn't much drama since their slide down is pretty standard. Ledger and Cornish show flashes of intensity but are generally a muddle. The style isn't as good as other drug movies. There are moments of good drama but their story rambles on and on rather than reach a climax. I would recommend 'Requiem for a Dream' instead.

"Candy" is one of these movies which left you so much to think about. While I was watching the movie mixed emotions went though me. Such like joy, delight, melancholy, disgust, sadness and sympathy. There are so realistic and horrific scenes and at the same time so beautiful and catching moments. The opening scene is one of the most beautiful things made in art of the cinema. The music, the deep and rich voice of gorgeous Heath Ledger, all the words with which he is describing the great love. The big love that raises you to heaven. And so the first stage of drug addicts is like heaven. They don't think for the consequences or the risks, not even about their heath and the people who they can hurt. All about they care about is the pleasure which they feel. The unconditional love and the heroin are blinded Dan and Candy and they don't feel how turn their direction to the ground very speedily. The hit of the realistic life on earth overturn their minds, all the sweetness and love are gone. Here they are two young persons, talented and artistic in nature, confronted to face their nude or what they've become. The most sad and hard moment for me was when Dan saw the writings on the wall by Candy about their life story. Somehow when I listen to the words and review all the story I wish I experience that kind of love, unconditional, twisting everything inside you and make you do everything about a person, who sometimes you love and sometimes you hate for being so deep inside of you. I adore the movie, so realistic and terrific, shows how drugs can ruin a human's life. Heath is wonderful, charming and gets really into the role, like always. Love him. R.I.P

A griping and intense love story from director Neil Armfield. Candy(Abbie Cornish), a carefree art student, and hopelessly disconnected poet Dan(Heath Ledger)are hooked on each other...and both are hooked on heroin. This is a deep and darker love story than most. The real world actually takes back seat to their recreational drug use that has taken over their lives. Casper(Geoffrey Rush), an older friend and chemistry professor from the university is their main supplier. They feel they have found all they need in each other. Marriage and unsurmountable debt proves to be a burden about as big as their drug habit. A humiliated Candy starts prostituting and even hapless Dan considers becoming a gay whore. Self-destruction has its price and Candy pays first. But can life actually drag itself out of the cesspool? Cornish and Ledger seem to go unashamedly soul-deep in their roles. CANDY may not be for everyone; but misery loves company.
