... capture the stupefying disallusionment of love through the euphemism of heroin. I enjoy this films take on realism and the sad portrayal of people who get stuck in a downward spiral. The film not only portrays an infactuation with needles and passion but also educates the viewer into the horrifying world of a drug addict. As an audience member I personally felt involved in the film, which is an exceedingly large compliment to the actors and the director of this film, because I came to feel a strong sense of dislike tow...more

Candy was released in 2006 and tells the story of two young lovers, artist Candy and poet Dan, becoming more and more involved in drugs, in particular the use of heroin.
