Hard Candy

DramaThriller104 min

After meeting online, teenager Hayley agrees to a coffee-shop date with Jeff, an older fashion photographer who soon brings her back to his place for an impromptu shoot. Elliot Page is Hayley, sharp, charming, and hard to read; Patrick Wilson’s Jeff begins the evening with practiced confidence and finds the balance shifting fast. What starts as flirtation turns into a closed-door confrontation, with Hayley pressing Jeff about the girls he photographs and the stories he tells. David Slade keeps the film tightly focused on their escalating contest of control, suspicion, and intimidation.
