The superior version!

This being released so close to last year's *Candy* has no reason to be. Although, ***Love & Death*** manages to do a better job than it's predecessor! It's the exact same true crime story, basically but the approach is different and they choose to focus on different aspects we haven't seen, ex: the love story. Jessica Biel was great in *Candy* but Elizabeth Olsen's performance is just so much better. A memorable performance and a contender for the Emmy awards. Tom Pelphrey, Patrick Fugit and especially Jesse Plemons are all standouts as well. I'm the biggest Lily Rabe fan but Melanie Lynskey did the character better. The story is well told and the pacing isn't rushed, it breathes. The biggest thing it does better than *Candy* is the love story parts, way more in depth and it was actually interesting. Everything happening in court was peak court room material. The kill scene was done better in *Candy* though, it felt cheap in comparison.
