This movie knocked me on my ass. Candy is one of my fondest memories of Heath Ledger. The division between Heaven, Earth, and Hell is really apt and makes the film even more interesting.

Practically every significant type of cinema has gone through a period of interest in drug topics and made a few films where it was teeming with meth and meth-heads. Candy is a quite late product of the genre, which already has its strongest and most provocative films behind it. It is by no means as original and darkly sarcastic as Trainspotting, nor is it too raw or professionally up to standard to make its mark on the history of the respective genre or cinema in general. Only the casting of the central duo is worth mentioning, with Heath Ledger becoming a celebrity, particularly due to his premature end, and Abbie Cornish being so sweetly blond and likable, in addition to delivering a decent performance. Perhaps only two scenes stick in my memory, especially Candy's written confession in the empty shack, and that is very little for such an emotional topic. Overall impression: 60%. In my opinion, Candy is a bit too optimistic, ending with a significant happy ending (because in the meth world, it truly represents a film happy ending). By the way, I didn't believe in the mutual emotions in that scene. If they had truly gone through meth hell, something else would have been reflected in their eyes. And most likely, they wouldn't have crossed paths at all.
