HARD CANDY (2005) ¢ ¢ ¢
D: David Slade
Ellen Page, Patrick Wilson, Sandra Oh, Odessa Rae
A 32-year-old photographer and a 14-year-old girl connect online, exchange flirtatious texts and meet up at a coffee shop. When she gets into his car and they drove off to his place, you're thinking, uh-oh, that was a big mistake, and it is, but not in the way you'd expect. An intense, two-person psychodrama, very well-acted by Wilson and Page, with moments - a lot of them - that could make you real uncomfortable. The Korean movie "Audition" is a variation on the same theme.
