The Devil's Candy Review

Review of The Devil's Candy (2015) by screenqueeen: 👍 3/5

Some bits feel a bit forced here but it's never in service of anything resembling depth or pretense -- this movie earns everything it sets out to do. It feels as if it wants to follow two different threads but ultimately gives up on one in service of the other. Not a bad thing but the feature was short enough at its final cut that it could have expanded on the art collector and his fascination with Jesse's work and still have maintained focus on Jesse's relationship with his daughter, and Ray's machinations for her.
