Total Film, 07/01/2006, p.50, 3 stars out of 5 -- "HARD CANDY's greatness is to be found in this young actress: stardom beckons for Page." Entertainment Weekly, 04/21/2006, p.58, "To watch HARD CANDY is, at moments, to be very afraid, but the scariest thing about it is the fury of Page's talent." -- Grade: B+ Premiere, 10/01/2006, p.95, 3.5 stars out of 4 -- "This is a strange, and strangely effective, breed of thriller: an indie avenger tale..." USA Today, 04/14/2006, p.6E, "HARD CANDY, a highly original psychological thriller/revenge fantasy, can be bitterly hard to take and uncomfortably intense, but it's well worth consuming."

Title NoteTheatrical Release: April 14, 2006 Distributor NoteA smart, charming teenage girl, Hayley probably shouldn't be going to a local coffee shop to meet Jeff, a 30-something fashion photographer she met on the Internet. But before she knows it, she's mixing drinks at Jeff's place and stripping for an impromptu photo shoot. It's Jeff's lucky night. But Hayley isn't as innocent as she looks, and the night takes a turn when she begins to impose a hard-hitting investigation on Jeff in an attempt to reveal his possibly scandalous past. DVD FEATURES - 16x9 Widescreen - 5.1 Dolby Digital - 2.0 Dolby Digital - Commentary with Director David Slade and Writer Brian Nelson - Commentary with Actors Patrick Wilson and Ellen Page - Deleted and Extended Scenes - "Creating Hard Candy" Making-of Documentary - "Controversial Confection" Mini-featurette - DVD-Rom Production Notebook - English and Spanish Release NoteDVD Features: DVD Features: Product NotesClaustrophobic and brightly colored, this tightly wound psychological thriller is constantly pulling the rug out from under the viewer, mostly due to the tense, explosive performances of its two main characters. The tale opens with a coffee shop rendezvous between 14-year-old Haley (the fantastic Ellen Page) and 32-year-old fashion photographer Jeff (Patrick Wilson), who have previously met only online in a chat room. Despite his questionable enthusiasm at meeting a girl half his age, Jeff comes off as slightly awkward and shy; rather, it's Haley who is unnervingly forthright in her flirtation. She suggests that they go back to his place, he complies, and, once there, Haley seductively convinces him to take pictures of her. She exhibits a beguiling mixture of innocence and precocious sexuality, but before anything happens between them, Jeff passes out under the influence of the drugs she's slipped him. When he wakes up, Haley drops her innocent demeanor and begins to undertake a meticulously planned game of retribution against her captive pedophile. She hacks into his computer and ransacks his house while he watches helplessly, and she ultimately raises the ante with a surgical procedure sure to make audiences squirm. The exact nature of Jeff's guilt remains nebulous, however, creating an intriguing uncertainty surrounding Haley's own mental state, and just how psychotic she might be. Expectations are continuously thwarted as the two characters--neither of whom is terribly sympathetic--enact a psychological and physical game of cat and mouse that is as fascinating to watch as a train wreck.
