This has to be one of the best movies i have ever seen. Although it was not what i expected. Heath Ledger never fails to impress me and this is really no exception. His portrayal of a man in love with both drugs and a woman blew me away and the emotion depicted here was outstanding. Defiantly worth buying!!!

I couldnt agree more with the other reviewers. A truly breathtaking movie on all levels. Such a symapthetic view of how any kind of addiction (in the movie its their love that destroys them as much as its heroin) can ultimately destroy you. Heath and Abbie lay down the gaunlet to any movie on how to play a myriad of emotions but at the same time never become too confusing. Its a real pity more people didnt see this before the tragic loss of Heath, but I suppose if anything else, more people can see his work and hopefully prove that he was an acting heavyweight, completely fearless of any role he took !! Just an amazing piece of cinema, great script, great support by the always dependable Geoffrey Rush and truly mesmerising performances by the lead stars. Do not miss this movie !!!

Heath Ledger plays a stupendous role as a poet heroin addict who struggles through his intoxicating and deep relationship with Candy, slowly making her reliant and dependent on heroin. The darkness of their love proves how deep they are, how unbearable they will allow their lives to become as long as their relationship stands the test.
It truly is fantastic, showing a believable, fantastic take on heroin addiction.
It's definitely one of my top ten films and a must see for anyone.
This is without a doubt Heath Ledger's finest role I have seen as he carries his acting to an ultimate achievement, making his character pitiful, harsh, cruel, loved, disgraceful, human, flawed, enlightened and whatever else he can throw in there. It definitely is the acting from Abbie and Heath that make this film so brilliant!
