Candy

Knowing I was going to see this film, I raced to finish the book in the two days prior (see book review above). Normally I don't like a film version of any book I have read but this was as an exception. It was not as gritty as the book, but in its own way it was just as haunting, tragic and beautiful. Both Heath Ledger and Abbie Cornish are superb. They seemed to have wonderful chemistry together and I would love to see them in another film together. Geoffrey Rush is also wonderful in his role as professor turned heroin addict. This is a very good film and I recommend it for anyone who has, or has not, read the book.
