Review: Hard Candy

Ellen Page at her finest. This is not a big film by anyone's standards, but still manages to be my favourite film of hers ever. Slade directs this creepy, wordy thriller which, despite being rated 18+ shows almost no gore at all. This only goes to show, however just how unsettling and claustrophobic the film gets as it progresses. With little over 2 characters in the entire film (and almost no music) you can only marvel at the strength of two performances literally carrying this 90-minute treat from beginning to end.

Perfect.
