“To watch HARD CANDY is, at moments, to be very afraid, but the scariest thing about it is the fury of Page's talent.”
– Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY -
“A hot-button thriller meant to enflame and infuriate.”
– Sara Michelle Fetters, MOVIEFREAK.COM -
“A highly original psychological thriller/revenge fantasy…bitterly hard to take and uncomfortably intense.”
– Claudia Puig, USA TODAY -
“A film that gives you something to think about, raising questions that linger long after the theater lights have brightened.”
– Moira MacDonald, SEATTLE TIMES
