Review of Candy

Candy (2022)

Disappointed
12 May 2022
Maybe it's because this happened not far from my grandparents house, and my mom has known all of the details since it happened, but...as much as I love Jessica Biel and Melanie Lynskey, I think this is the most scattered and incoherent retelling of such a horrific event.

My biggest frustration is how terrible Betty comes across. I don't feel like anxiety and depression comes off as it should. Instead, she comes across as whiny, nagging, pain to live with, and that's just sad.

I don't think Allan was henpecked, but that's how he comes across, and Pat Montgomery seems like he's oblivious to everything around him. The man worked for TI.

Great cast, weak and scattered portrayal of Betty Gore's murder. I feel bad for her family that this is out in the world now.
