7/10
I'm still trying to figure out if this movie (Julia Leigh's directing debut, not to be confused with Catherine Breillat's The Sleeping Beauty from last year, nor the fairy tale) is deeper than I can get my head around, or if it's just banality obfuscating itself as something more. Emily Browning gives a strong, brave performance in the lead role as a student drawn into a strange world of sleepy, sexless prostitution. There are intriguing ideas here but it's pretty hard to penetrate (no pun intended).
