Candy

Today I watched the movie "Candy", and I come to you bearing my thoughts on it.

The plot was slow to start, and the pacing was in need of work. The cast, although gifted with a big name, gave a rather bland performance. Lots of sobbing and shaking, but not much emotion carried through to the viewer. Near the end, it picks up, and the whole three frames of mind (heaven, earth, and hell) was a nice touch.

My final word is that it's nice to rent, a nifty concept, but it had a poor execution. Rent it for sure, but don't buy it. If you want a better druggy movie, may I recommend Thumbsucker or Imaginary Heroes?
