Sleeping Beauty
A haunting portrait of Lucy, a young university student drawn into a mysterious hidden world of unspoken desires.
Sleeping Beauty achieves it's goal to shock and disturb it's audience, but fails at almost everything else. Emily Browning gives a powerful performance as Lucy, and the film creates a creepy atmosphere when she is treating the aged clients in her sleep. There is no character development, and the story is just boring and goes nowhere. Great idea, poor execution. If your looking for a good erotic-thriller, this is not it. Watch Eyes Wide Shut or Mulholland Drive instead. I was really looking forward to this because I love these types of films, and I have to say that this is one of the biggest disappointments of the year.
