Sleeping Beauty (2011)

Emily Browning. Erotic drama. My penis in my hand. Scratch that last part. Emily plays a whore woman who joins an unusual type of escort service in which old rich white guys pay top dollar to spend the night with her unconscious body, with the only restriction being "no penetration." This ranges from innocent spooning to more disturbing practices. Browning's raw, brave performance contains a lot of nudity, and her petite figure only makes her seem more vulnerable and innocent. There are traces of Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut here, but not really. And the ending is deliberately vague and alienating. I'm still not sure how I feel about it.

"I'm still not sure how I feel about it."

Sometimes things like that are appreciated more when revisited later. The trailer was interesting. I'd watch it.
