LOVEFiLM Review Sleeping Beauty

  • 3 stars out of 5  

    By Tom Charity from LOVEFiLM

    An adult fairytale with an elegantly creepy feel, Julia Leigh's film draws you in but leaves you wondering where you've ended up.

    Weird! What a shame and what a waste of 90 odd minutes. A great concept for a story, shame it doesn't actually fulfil the potential. There are too many extraneous, unexplained scenes; the fact that some are repeated doesn’t clarify the script or move the story on. E. g. what is the scene on the train with the drooling sleeping woman about? It adds nothing to the already drawn out story line. A great waste of Emily Browning’s talent although it was nice to see her naked! If there is a story in there, other than the basic premise of a drugged young woman serving the erotic needs of old, incapable men, then it is so well hidden it doesn’t exist. Great idea, badly written. What a pity.

    Synopsis sounded really intriguing and actually got Hubby on board to watch it with me. At the end of the film we just looked at each other in absolute confusion! It was mind numbingly boring and there did not seem to be any point to it at all- If there was a deeper meaning I certainly don't know what it was! Just a shame we wasted a perfectly good evening watching it.

    It explores, from a sort of clinically objective viewpoint, the captivating and puzzling power of beauty and the complexity of sexuality that we are all as human beings caught up in.

    I really did this the whole idea of this movie was interesting. The main charictor; Lucy is interesting and wierd. The story is slow but does draw you in. Was sorely disapointed with the ending tho. It builds you up to something spectacular that doesnt actually happen. Enjoyed it tho.
