January 6, 2025 -

Directed by Australian filmmaker Neil Armfield, Candy follows the descent of Dan (Heath Ledger) and Candy (Abbie Cornish) into the depths of drug addiction.

This movie was recently recommended to me as I start my recovery journey. It was a hard watch for obvious reasons but a pleasant suprise, albeit a sad one. It's a heavy movie due to the subject matter, straight to the point and in my opinion, very realistic, specially the withdrawal scenes, those who have been through them will know. I have liked Heath Ledger's acting in what I've seen him in but I thought he truly shined in a different way here. Was not familiar with Abbie Cornish and was also pleasantly surprised. Even though Geoffrey Rush didn't have a big role in the movie, his character and acting were strong enough to for him to be beyond remarkable in the scenes he was in. Has anyone watched it?
