“Hard Candy”

A few nights ago, my roommates and I watched the thriller Hard Candy (David Slade, 2005) and I could not believe how much the film tied into our class discussions.  The film stars Ellen Page, the girl from Juno, as a young girl who goes on a date with a older man.  I do not want to give too much away, but the girl suspects the man is a pedophile.  The film puts an interesting twist on female stereotypes, feminism and sexual objectification in film.  I would definitely recommend everyone in the class to watch it.  It is not like anything I have ever seen before…
