I have not got a clue where to start with Sleeping Beauty. I have not got a clue what i was watching but most of the time although i found it strangely compelling and interesting in a voyeuristic kind of way.
Emily Browning stars as a young woman who makes her money in every way she can although seemingly not needing the money . She get a job as a nude silver service waitress for a strange group of retired man and woman and it involves a ritual of which she could never have imagined.
Although this film is extremely strange and obviously has hidden meanings that are so hidden i couldn't find them , i still found this film to very watchable. Emily Browning is stunningly beautiful and i could watch her all day long and i think that's the hook i had on this film.
I can't see this film appealing to many people but i wouldn't say it's a total disaster. If you like your films arty , then you will love it , but if you like structure and explanation then Sleeping Beauty mike make you nod off.
