    Draw your own conclusions.
    A haunting story that serves its character to its audience on a clean plate. Full of strange characters, all seeking love and connection in different ways.

    The good:

    A stunning performance from Emily Browning.

    Stripped down, any attempt at explaining the characters in this film on screen runs the risk of preaching to the audience.

    Provoked a lot of discussion.

    This is not Disney's Sleeping Beauty.

    The bad:

    A very unnerving sexual scene that creeped everyone in the movie theater out (though that might be a good thing).

    This type of film certainly isn't for everyone.

    This is not Disney's Sleeping Beauty.

    The dinner scenes were a little boring.
