Candy Mountain Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Enjoyably weird quintessential road movie.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
In a way, this shaggy-dog hipster road film is Frank's ultimate work -- evoking the end of the road and even the end of Endsville-but he has persevered.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
Watching Candy Mountain, we're lulled into a mood of uncertain but pleasurable anticipation.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
You get sweeter on Candy with every passing mile.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Ambling along like a wry, laid-back "Heart of Darkness," this likable and touching film makes good use of Frank's remarkable photographic eye and Wurlitzer's witty, acerbic, and quasi-mystical handling of myth that has served him well in his novels.
