Story

Jane Campion presents "SLEEPING BEAUTY", the bold and provocative directorial debut of Julia Leigh, an official selection of the Cannes, Toronto and Chicago film festivals. Featuring a phenomenal breakthrough performance by Emily Browning, this coolly shocking retelling of the classic myth poses its heroine as a rarified sex-worker, confronting ideas of feminine sexuality with bravado and precision.

REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“..this might sound like either a grim cautionary tale or a prurient adventure in exploitation..”
by A.O. Scott [New York Times]
“..no fairy tale; it's stark, dispassionate and noticeably short on happily ever afters..”
by Ian Buckwalter [NPR]
“..the film remains uninvolving, its glacial pacing further slowed by exceedingly sparing camera movement, resulting in a look that's neither sensual nor unsettling..”
by David Rooney [Hollywood Reporter]
