Candy
Description
A fatherly chemistry professor indulges two young lovers in their ever-increasing heroin habits. Hooked as much on one another as they are on the drug, their relationship alternates between states of oblivion, self-destruction, and despair.

Without real characters or a fresh take on drug addiction, Candy has little to recommend it for anyone who's seen The Basketball Diaries or Requiem for a Dream.

"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.

Both actors are immensely impressive, so perversely appealing that you want them to survive their addiction and keep on with their terrific performances.
