The only reason I watched this film was because I had a minor interest in Ellen Page after watching Juno, so I rented her previous films: Mouth to Mouth, American Crime, The Tracey Fragments and Smart People.
Hard Candy was probably the second most intense of her films that I have viewed. The Tracy Fragments is an excellent, but depressing film. And while watching the scene in Hard Candy when she performs the fake castration on the guy, I was rather uncomfortable, but thought he deserved the punishment for what he did to her friend.
