Full Plot Details

Candy Christian is an innocent young girl when she first hears MacPhisto, an alcoholic Welsh poet, talk of love and self-sacrifice. Candy narrowly escapes MacPhisto's attempt to rape her, only to succumb to her father's Mexican gardener, Emmanuel. When her father catches her with the gardener, he banishes her to a trip with his twin brother, Uncle Jack, and Jack's wife Aunt Livia, who are headed for New York City. As Candy makes her way to the airport, Emmanuel's three sisters attack her because she has corrupted their brother. Because of Candy, Emmanuel has now forsaken the priesthood. During the scuffle, Candy's father takes a blow to the head, resulting in a serious head injury. Candy nearly gives in to General R.A. Smight on the plane in exchange for a blood transfusion for her father. In New York City, an ego-maniacal brain surgeon Dr. A.B. Krankeit operates on her father, while Uncle Jack pursues his own operation on Candy. When Candy bashes him with a bedpan, Uncle Jack is put in her father's hospital bed, while her father wanders away without notice. Candy is now free to visit Greenwich Village where she takes part in a movie by underground movie director Jonathan J. John. It's a pornographic movie, shot in a public restroom. Next, Candy becomes the pet of a benevolent hunchback in Central Park, but she escapes from this arch-criminal into the truck trailer of Guru Grindl. During the drive to California, Grindl initiates her into the mysteries of the Seventh Stage and other secrets of life. In California, Candy seeks the Great Buddah, who will reveal to her the ultimate stage. In her search, she encounter a filthy hermit who leads her to a temple. There Candy and the hermit have sex. When a deluge destroys the temple and washes the hermit clean. Candy recognizes that the hermit is really her wandering father. Again, Candy runs away to more trouble. The final time, however, she finds herself in a hippie orgy, reunited with her past sexual partners.

Movie Reviews

Murphy's Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Ted Murphy... it feels more like something out of American cinema from the late 1960s or early 70s [and] may say more about the state of Australian film than anything else.
BlackFilm.com - 9/10 by Kam WilliamsThink of this warts-and-all misadventure as the cinematic equivalent of a 'Just Say No' public service announcement.
PopMatters - 9/10 by Cynthia FuchsIn this brief, brutal moment of Candy's voice, the film is almost something new. But she exists, at last, beyond Dan and beyond Candy.
I.E. Weekly - 9/10 by Amy NicholsonDavies has no new insights into the heroin spiral, but this silly melodrama benefits from the palpable chemistry between Ledger and Cornish
Filmcritic.com - 8/10 by Chris BarsantiDirector Armfield coaxes excellent performances from his performers, almost making up for the thinness of the material
Reel Film Reviews - 8/10 by David Nusair...a surprisingly engaging and emotionally wrenching piece of work.
Arizona Daily Star - 8/10 by Phil Villarreal"Candy" won't make anyone forget "Trainspotting" (1996) or "Requiem for a Dream" (2000), but nor will "Candy" let those who see it soon forget the experience.
Arizona Republic - 8/10 by Kerry LengelThere's no moment that truly feels original until Candy's climactic breakdown at the end of the movie. By then, it's too late.
Salt Lake Tribune - 8/10 by Sean P. MeansIt's not entertainment by any means, but it is riveting and rewarding viewing.
Flick Filosopher - 8/10 by MaryAnn Johanson[T]here's a lot of cinematic pleasure to be had in Heath Ledger's thoroughly un-self-conscious performance...
