Cande (2025) Review: A Heartfelt Journey of Childhood Friendship

Cande is that special little film that doesn’t need theatrics and big confrontation scenes to make its story felt. Its bigness lies in presenting the beautiful and deep connections of the characters using culture, culinary and an era when cellphones hadn’t been invented yet as a backdrop.

But then, it would also take us to how we process tragedy as kids and how we carry those tragedies as we grow older.
