Synopsis

A free-spirited art student and a roguish poet find their addiction to each other taking a back seat to their taste for heroin in director Neil Armfield's intensely personal tale of recreational drug use gone bad. When Candy (Abbie Cornish) and Dan (Heath Ledger) first fell in love, they both thought they had found all they ever needed in life. Despite financial hardships, the pair sustained themselves on the vibrant life force that burned blindingly bright as it promised an invincible future. Their intoxicating romance a blissful altered state of which heroin played only a minor role in the beginning, Candy and Dan soon decide to strengthen their bond by marrying and starting a family. Their manufactured Eden gradually becomes an uncontrollable inferno, however, as Candy's parents slowly pull away due to the pain of witnessing their daughter's slow slide into oblivion, and even chemistry professor Casper (Geoffrey Rush), who was at first complicit in their experimentation, admits that Candy and Dan's blind devotion to the drug is now forever ingrained into their commitment to one and other. As the marriage deteriorates right along with Candy's increasingly fragile mental state, Dan must make the difficult decision to either rescue her or pull away in hopes that the clarity of separation will finally empower her to break free of the addiction that binds her. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

4.0 out of 5 stars Heartbreaking., Aug 15 2008

(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I just finished watching this very intense movie. The performances of Heath Ledger, and Abbie Cornish were outstanding, and well deserving of any positive recognition that they both received. Heath's tragic death has left a great void with his fans, and critics alike, who appreciated his amazing talents as an actor. Candy is just one of many films in which Heath excelled, and gave all he had. In every role that he took, it wasn't like he was trying to act, it was more like he actually became the character, and he put his heart and soul into making it real. His diversity as an actor has been realized several times, and this movie is no exception. Candy is hard to watch at times, given the subject matter, and the nature of Heath's death just months ago. But, all in all, Candy is a very good movie. It tells a story of love and addiction, loss, hope, and sacrifice. But the story itself is nothing without the talents of the actors who are presenting it to you, and if you walk away from this movie feeling for the characters, and caring about what they endured, if you can get lost in their passion and understand their pain, then these talented actors have done their job. Even if you don't care for the theme of the movie, see it for the talent that is presented. You won't be disappointed.
