La Candy de Elizabeth es como la opinión pública actual la hubiese juzgado. La de Jessica, es la versión de cómo la opinión pública la juzgó en el pasado (perspectiva machista)

[@usmcwife1215]

I agree! I'm wondering if it's because in the movie Don makes the comment of Candy being so loved by everyone. Elizabeth portrayed her as a lovable person. Jessica was more cold in my opinion. Both did a phenomenal job.

[@sleepyandhollow.]

Same. I felt this one did a better job of showing a leading up to the murder but it also made you more empathetic towards candy than the other one

[@jessaca]

Elizabeth's performance is outstanding and I'm only halfway through

[@Mebliss]

Her acting in this was next level. Top tier 💯

[@EddieOrr]

Sad reality is that anyone of us could've been candy or betty at any moment in our lives. Felt stuck on their current situation in life, wanted change, and did everything to find change, just to mess it up completely. (Top that of with our past childhood traumas *if any*, and/or being UNABLE to fully express our frustrations to the people who COULD help). Betty could've easily been, the killer IF Candy's accounts of that day were truly proven as the fact, and Candy wasn't successful on disarming Betty. It's also terrifying to see what humans are capable of when adrenaline and blind rage aligned in a perfect moment. 😨

[@marymckay7154]

The catalyst for Candy was the possibility of her lovers wife being pregnant..I mean, it's common for the "other woman" ( or man) to think their lovers aren't sleeping with their spouses...especially at that time. You can't make me believe, had the wife known beforehand about the affair, that her oldest daughter would be spending time with Candy. Fabricated....would LOVE to hear more about Candy from her siblings...bingo.

[@Elevendyeleven]

I loved this show, but there needs to be waaay more judgement for Candy Montgomery. Candy was not a good friend. I do not think that attack was provoked. Elizabeth did a great job for that version of this story, but she is way more pretty than the real Candy and I think the character she played was much kinder and genuine than the real Candy. I think Candy was an incredibly self centered person who lacked empathy and wanted to keep that good christian image in that church-centered community and poor Betty was someone who could expose her. We need another version. I want to see someone like Jane Lynch with a tight perm and her t shirt tucked into her 80s running shorts punting a vollyball into Bettys face then having a fast and dirty affair with her husband. Candy doesnt deserve our compassion.

[@shawnuel]

There is another version. Candy on Hulu starring Jessica Biel as Candy and Melanie Lynsky as Betty.

[@Elevendyeleven]

@@shawnuel I saw that too. I also just realized theres a book was a dramatic fictionalization of this story that this script is almost word for word called "Evidence of Love" that I read an excerpt from. Its a good read. I see why people are adapting it. The murder happened, but Im not sure how many details of the affair were public knowledge or if things like their "rules" really happened.

[@marniekilbourne608]

Their is "Candy" from 2022.

[@rae3071]

conveying the real life history is so much more important than varying the truth to get a certain reaction. as someone who has read “evidence of love,” a book made with interviews on many people involved in the case (including candy, the only interview she ever did about it), how olsen portrayed her is exactly how she was seen by everyone. she was not outwardly narcissistic or cruel, she was warm and friendly and disarming, which is one of the reasons it was so hard for anyone to believe she was a murderer, and another reason why the whole case was so bizarre. this was a real life case. please do not suggest that we start altering facts of reality just to garner a certain reaction that makes it easier for viewers to make an opinion on things. retelling history is about telling the truth.

[@Elevendyeleven]

@@rae3071 the book says it is a dramatized fiction based on real events. Nobody knows what really happened. When someone murders someone else with no other witnesses, you only have the murderers side of the story which is inherently unfair. Candy had a motive. There is literally no way to know what really happened. Thats why murder investigations happen. Almost every murderer claims self defense. Being nice and charming is also not the same as being a good person or innocent. Thats why narcissistic personality disorder is a diagnosis. Everyone thought Lori Vallow was great too, until she killed het kids.

[@Eyro82]

[@teresajennings1243]

I understand the actors wanted to be open minded about the characters they portrayed. But how on earth can you have no judgment of someone who would hack away at another human being 40 times...long after she subdued Betty. For me, the jury was way too gullible. She could have hit Betty, knocked her down, then run out the door with Betty on the ground. No she did not do that. She was clearly in a total rage, had said she hated Betty. Well I guess we saw that is true. I guess I would have liked to see her a little more in a rage, the actress I mean. Because obviously Candy was just full of rage. I will say however, Elisabeth Olsen was fantastic in her acting, just the expressions on her face, well, she does deserve an award for this I think.
