7.5/10
Catherine Breillat's latest is ridiculous, silly, and completely unsubtle, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it in spite of all those things. This version of Sleeping Beauty takes place mostly inside of the Princess' dream, and I thought it was a lot of fun - sweet and charming (mainly because of the adorable actress playing the 6-year old Princess), but nice and fluffy. When the 16-year old Princess finally awakens into present day, things get a little...Breillat-y? Well this is the only one of hers I've seen, but from what I gather, yeah. It's less enjoyable and certainly prone to generating more than a few derisive snickers but I dunno, I still liked the movie on the whole.
