Top Critics Reviews

There's a formula here, and it's not the liquid being shot into popping veins.

Both actors are immensely impressive, so perversely appealing that you want them to survive their addiction and keep on with their terrific performances.

For all its depiction of a descent into drug addiction, Candy is filled with surprisingly sweet moments and goes down more easily than seems possible given the subject matter.

rotten:
There's no moment that truly feels original until Candy's climactic breakdown at the end of the movie. By then, it's too late.
