Candy (Hulu 2022)
Barbara Hershey won an Emmy for playing a very slightly-fictionalized version of this woman back in... I think it was 1990. And I think that there's another version with Elizabeth Olsen coming out on HBO later in the year, which is like a low-cost version of the year Dante's Peak and Volcano came out, or Armageddon and Deep Impact, or Tombstone in '93 and Wyatt Earp in '94. Or Antz and A Bug's Life. Or Mission to Mars and Red Planet. Or White House Down and Olympus Has Fallen. And this is what happens when the first studio exec that passes on your script calls up another screenwriter and goes, "I got a great idea for a movie!" More on reddit.com

Siskel & Ebert movie review "Brain Candy" (1996). Siskel liked the movie. Ebert... not so much.

Kids in the Hall was great, I wish I saw them in more shows and movies.

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?

Candy movie review & film summary (2022) | Roger Ebert
Candy
What can we learn from Candy? Outside of casting its stars with consistency, not much really. But sometimes that’s sweet enough. On June 13th, 1980, seemingly ordinary Texan housewife Candy Montgomery (Jessica Biel) went to her friend Betty Gore’s (Melanie Lynskey) house and brutally murdered her with an axe. How did a church-going, married mother of two reach a point where she struck another woman 42 times with a blade? Was it jealousy or self-defense? Nick Antosca (“The Act”) and Robin Veith (“Mad Men”) unpack the days before and after this event with stark, horror-esque storytelling in Hulu

"Candy" inspires contradictory feelings. On the one hand, it's a lot better than you might expect, with scenes and lines of high comedy. On the other hand, it "Candy" inspires contradictory feelings. On the one hand, it's a lot better than you might expect, with scenes and lines of high comedy. On the other hand, it lacks the pure anarchy, the abandon, of Terry Southern's novel. There's something wacky about using restraint in a satire on pornography. Still, "Candy" avoids some obvious hazards. When you look at the cast -- Burton, Brando, Ringo, Matthau, Coburn and everybody -- you dread it'll
