Candy ****

[Ray]

Sheyne and I went to see Candy today.  Can't say much as I am still in a state of speechlessness.  Intense and disturbingly realistic.  The cast were stunningly believable. Heath gives another character absolute life.  A definite must see in my opinion. Don't go expecting laughs because there is only ONE!

And yes Meryl, there's a glimps of flesh!

Thank you, Ray.  I wonder when it'll be here?  It seems very dark.

Someone told me that you guys won't see it until September. Definitely heavy going, but worth the ride.

Yep doesn't open here until Fall.  I can't wait.  Sound like Heath's got himself another winner in this one.  Thanks Ray

*singing* Candy Candy Candy I can't let you go.....

Okay so it was an Iggy Pop song but same sort of deal....

Ray's right, its a heavy piece of cinema. Coupla scenes have seared themselves onto my brain and will stay there forever, but Heath is typically brilliant. So is the lead actress, Abby Cornish, who more than holds her own against our Oscar-nominated lad. I have to say though, I'm very glad Heath is dark-haired in this... if i had to see Ennis Del Mar shooting up, I couldn't stand it... 

Definitely worth catching. Not for the faint-hearted. Heavy drug use, junkie themes. Heath's bottom.  Worth the admission price alone...

Thanks Sheyne and Ray for this review...

From everything I read, it sounds like it is an intense picture. Now I have your confirmation. Still want to see it, though.

From various sources, it will be in the US around October 20th.

I loved Trainspotting with all its intensity, so maybe will like this one too.  Thanks.

Hmm,  your description makes me think of the Johnny Depp movie "Blow".  Another Dark movie where the handsome leading man is involved in the drug trade.
