A very sad story told in three parts; heaven, earth and hell. The reason it goes from heaven to hell is heroin. The director managed to pull off a solid drama, with a well-balanced style, receiving very fine performances from the actors. This was my first Heath Ledger movie after he passed and he was great in this as always. So was Abbie Cornish (Why isn't she more popular). Apart being one of the better movies that deals with drug addiction, this was a great love story that was quite painfull to watch.

I had really high hopes for this film. I hadn't heard anything about it and only knew that drugs were involved in the plot. I plan on watching all of Heath Ledger's films in the near future and as I see more of his work I come to realise just what talent has been wasted. His performance in this film is powerful and captivating. I love that the film is split into three parts which emphasis the downward spiral of the couple's lives. I love the chemistry between Heath Ledger and Abbie Comish. She also gives an excellent performance. The plot is very tragic, as you come to realise how much in love the pair are and as they slowly ruin their lives. Beautiful film that isn't one of Heath Ledger's more well known films, which is a shame because he is excellent, and once again proves that he was capable of a hell of a lot.

MCT:May 4, 2008Tragic. Everyone wants to compare it to Requiem for a Dream, but I think this movie's a lot more realistic and human. Requiem lets you into what illusions drugs give...Candy lets you know the truth. Great performances by Ledger, Cornish, and Rush.

Requiem for a dream in OZ, although Oz doesn't shine through that much. Shows beautifully and disturbingly how addiction slowly takes over your life eventually controlling it before destroying it. Brilliant movie and Heath Ledger plays the lead role with strength.

i read the book first before i saw the movie. i think that the movie kinda exaggerated the whole story. candy had a miscarriage months before dan and her went through the withdrawal days.... i suggest to read the novel together with the film. :)
