A cat-and-mouse psychotic thriller as incisive as it is stylish, Hard Candy delivers a provocative take on the revenge drama while jangling nerves at every turn. The film plunges us into an unstable universe where we cannot readily identify the “good guy” in the tense confrontation between a 14-year-old girl and the 32-year-old man she suspects of pedophilia and murder. (Lionsgate)

You’ve read it a hundred times – the studio steps in and changes the by-the-numbers sentimental ending because a test audience crack up or they remove the big-laugh scene because the same audience can’t muster a titter. Now, take your time, search publications and scour the web but you won’t find a similar story about Hard Candy.

With a rapier-sharp script by former Lois And Clark scribbler Brian Nelson, starring New York stage stalwart Patrick Wilson as photographer Jeff and 17-year-old screen starlet Ellen Page as 14-year-old Hayley – Hard Candy is the kind of movie that leaves the viewer with questions… lots of questions.

“Yes, of course but when it came to the Q&A’s, people were literally screaming at us,” he says with a disbelieving chuckle. “The first question came from this guy who stood up with a list saying, ‘I knew I wouldn’t remember it all, so I wrote everything down. I think if we’d have met up after a couple of days, the reaction might have been different.” Undoubtedly so – Hard Candy is a movie that needs time to percolate, allowing the rash and instinctive judgements to arise, then pass.

Page and co-star Wilson will no doubt ascend from Hard Candy with buffed reputations and glittering careers but a nice hefty return at the box office wouldn’t hurt either would it?

This won’t be my normal review, you know, the standard 3,000 word exegetical downward spiral sort of an article. I just wanted to say, um, Hard Candy?

But it was only AFTER the movie was over, that I went back to the suggest a movie page that I realized, no, Devil’s Candy is not Hard Candy, and vice versa. I was so confused! So yeah, I watched the wrong movie. But, holy cow was Hard Candy good, good good good. But intense. If you can’t handle discussions of pedophilia. Pass. If you can’t handle cat and mouse games between a 12 year old looking Page, and Patrick Wilson, pass. But wow, does Hard Candy escalate fast. But yeah, if you do dig revenge prawn, and you definitely like seeing people get what they “deserve”… holy cow. I’ll always put my money on page from here on out. How did I miss this film? Here is the trailer in case you’d like to know a little bit more about it:

Hard Candy was an unexpected treat for me, too, some years ago on late night cable. No other comments. Just general agreement. 🙂

Devil’s Candy is great if you like horror, but since you didn’t dig The Blackcoat’s Daughter all that much (it seems), I’m not sure if you’ll be into it. It’s a little bit of a mind trip but gets real bloody at the end. I loved Hard Candy, too!

“Hard Candy” is certainly the best movie that no one has seen. Just last night I was telling a crowd at dinner it’s a must-see. As I have done many times before.
