Candy

CANDY (2006) - Oct. 11, 2010
A well made if somewhat routine drama about a couple of heroin addicts, and the affect their addiction has on their lives.  There really isn't much here we haven't seen before, but the movie is well made and engaging enough.  What really sets it apart from other movies of its ilk is the refreshingly steady camerawork (there's none of the documentary-style jitteriness we've come to expect from this type of film) along with the better-than-average performances (Heath Ledger, in particular, gives a characteristically great performance).  ***
