Candy Land (2022) – Film Review
March 25, 2023
Interesting in its more naturalistic look into the world of truck-stop prostitution, the movie unfortunately puts more of its attention onto a formulaic and cliché-heavy horror.

Clearly uneven macaroni combat with some noteworthy elements such as its locations, score and, to some extent, photography but also some ridiculous ones such as its acting and writing.
Based on real events, Matthew Warchus’ film, although enjoying from the support of an excellent cast, is simply ok due to its overexaggerated feel good and positive nature. Its lack of grit and harshness for both the miners’ and homosexual struggles is undeniable.
Clearly del Toro influenced.
Led by two child siblings in a house and forest during WW2 Philippines, this fantasy horror excels in tense scenes which sadly start late and are second to the gore.
Filled with too many images void of meaning. It is in the conversations at Mr. Fouad’s garage about the social situation in Lebanon among different people where the substance truly is.
Beautiful B/W and sound design.
