tom k A well-acted and beautifully shot anthology of relationships between lesbian couples in modern Taiwan. While each story had it's unique plot and conclusion, they were tied together by the delivery of a package for someone named Candy Rain. Unfortunately this element never paid off; we never learned who Candy Rain is/was or why the characters were receiving mail for (from?) her. I always enjoy artistic films like these, but without the "Candy Rain" payoff, it was a big disappointment. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Carmus S The stories are interesting... I got a bit confused at the end, but it was ok nonetheless. The soundtrack does the movie wonders, since I found myself being bored with Karena Lam's character's (Ricky) story, but the songs played during her parts did it justice. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/11 Full Review Audience Member Good looking twentysomethings and some nice shots of a summery Taipei go a long way to conceal poor storytelling and unfocused direction in the episodical Candy Rain by Chen Hung-I. Of the four episodes included, only the third brings some real drama to the screen, and actually dares to discuss the homosexual issues that Candy Rain allegedly is all about, such as fulfilling your societal duty in a traditional heteronormative community. Actors Niki Wu, Kao Yi-Ling and Mok Chi-Yee turn in great performances, and the love triangle between their characters should by rights be the centerpiece of any movie willing to discuss gender related issues.
