Patrick Wilson (going off the beaten track here), Ellen Page and Sandra Oh (in a bit part) star in this decidedly creepy and controversial film of one (psychotic) 14-year-old girl's method of dealing with a pedophile. There is a lot going on in this very good film - almost all of it centering on manipulation. It is not for children and not for the faint of heart as it deals with very disturbing themes. I will not spoil Hard Candy by talking about two of the great twists in this film. For that, you'll have to rent it yourself. Both Wilson and especially Page are excellent in what must have been difficult scenes to shoot.
While the ending is dumb, dumb, dumb, my rating is still 8 out of 10.
