For a film so assured, stylised and well-paced, [Aoife] McArdle has certainly made an impressive, and memorable, debut. Let's hope she has more stories to tell. Kissing Candice is not to be missed.

As is her wont, [writer/director McArdle] is intent on mood, with atmosphere, cinematography and soundtrack reigning over proceedings, but at the expense of the story.

Towards the end, Kissing Candice loses narrative shape, but not before it has given its audience memorable, sensuous images.

If nothing else its sense of dread is palpable throughout, the lighting and score simultaneously beautiful and panic inducing. It's best when wholly experiential.

The result is a film that's much more about mood than story.

Uncertainty in the storytelling during the final segment doesn't derail this brilliant debut, which is a visual treat that demands to be seen on the big screen.

The end result is a visual thrill and marks Aoife McArdle as one to keep any eye on.

With its fractured, elliptical narrative, Kissing Candice uses its form to perfectly illustrate its content.

Freed from the constraints of shorter formats, McArdle rushes around her 102-minute runtime with all the curious abandon of a goldfish moved from a small bowl to a massive aquarium.
June 21, 2018
It's enigmatic, transgressive and full of maverick visual flair but Kissing Candice may leave you looking for answers. Possibly McArdle's intention all along.
September 29, 2017
The story goes from dumb to dumber, and never has a grip on Candice's opaque if intensely physical presence, let alone her character.
June 21, 2018
It is to McArdle's credit that Kissing Candice keeps asks questions worth disentangling.
