Australian dramas mostly fall into two broad camps - great crime-dramas, e.g. Animal Kingdom and Snowtown, or pretentious crap, e.g. Jindabyne. Sleeping Beauty is one of the latter, and it takes pretentious crap to levels of pretense and craptacularity usually only the French can muster.
No real point to the movie at all. Plot's initial idea is to shock the audience, and even that feels dull and drawn out, reminding me of Eyes Wide Shut. After that it just drifts around and goes nowhere.
Performances are generally unconvincing and dull, in keeping with the plot. Emily Browning was miscast in the lead role (though every other actress out there should be thanking their lucky stars that they don't have this on their CV).
Avoid at all costs. It will save you nearly two hours of your life.
