Storyline

A poet falls in love with an art student, who gravitates to his bohemian lifestyle — and his love of heroin. Hooked as much on one another as they are on the drug, their relationship alternates between states of oblivion, self-destruction, and despair.

Critics consensus

“Stars Heath Ledger and Abbie Cornish look better than they should as heroin addicts, and their characters are too absorbed and self-pitying to be totally compelling.”

RTI.E. WeeklyMay 15, 2009

Davies has no new insights into the heroin spiral, but this silly melodrama benefits from the palpable chemistry between Ledger and Cornish

K

Katey Rich

RTFilm Journal InternationalFeb 6, 2007

Without real characters or a fresh take on drug addiction, Candy has little to recommend it for anyone who's seen The Basketball Diaries or Requiem for a Dream.

Undeniably affecting.

RTHerald Sun (Australia)Jun 15, 2020

A tentative, inconclusive take on what it's like to be young, in love and on heroin.
