Advantages: realisistic loveable characters, excitement, love Disadvantages: none
of the best.
Joe is a very anxious, self-concious boy. He is in a band but he is a silent guy.
When he exits the train and steps out of King's Cross station, he sees a girl he
instantly is fascinated by - Candy.
He loses track of her but later he goes to a McDonalds and meets her again and
even gets to talk to her. She is very straight-forward and Joe is totally charmed and

beautiful - but ...
Advantages: Some good songs Disadvantages: Some not so good songs

It begins with seemingly small gestures such as pawning jewellery and goes right up to Candy selling her body. At several points throughout the film the characters seemingly wonder what their life has come to and touch upon stopping, but keep going. The two characters have inreasing troubles with each other also, from being deep in love to little squabbles to bigger, more frequent fights, to Candy not standing the sight of Dan, blaming him for getting her involved in something she, from a good family, wouldn't otherwise have got caught up in.
Overall I found the film entertaining, despite its grim nature, although at times disturbing as I for one feel a little uncomfortable watching footage of drug use, particularly involving ...
