Goofs:
Continuity: Near the end of the film, the girl is shown having trouble heaving the unconscious body of the man across the floor. The next time we see the man, he is standing upright on a chair with a noose around his neck. There is no way to stand an unconscious man up on a chair, and the girl was clearly not strong enough to force him onto the chair were he awake. Getting the man into this position is left unexplained presumably because it would be impossible.

I saw Hard Candy at the Angelika, in Tribeca New York and never have I been so shocked, surprised and utterly impressed with an acting performance. The storyline, though somewhat confusing was overpowered by the Oscar-winning performance given by Ellen Page, 14-year old Hayley. Though it could have wrapped up a little sooner (it was a bit longer than expected) I would highly recommend this to anyone who has buddies they talk to online, or anyone that generally enjoys suspenseful films. Not to be outdone by the young star, Patrick Wilson gave an excellent performance. The whole movie was a twisted roller coaster of not knowing who to believe. Whether young Hayley was telling the truth, or was she in fact just completely insane, you won't find out until the end, but either way, it was a knockout performance by both stars and a highly recommended film!
