  • For those who haven't seen this film, let me get 2 things straight. 1st, it's not porn. There are no images of naked people doing the dirty. 2nd, it's not a re-hash of the Disney fairytale. I found it to be quite good actually. Not a film if you want easy watching and quick gratification, but if you want something to watch where you have to think a little.

  • wasnt a great film but it had its moments to be fair

  • so basicly... shit movie but they get people to watch it because in the trailer you see her body... great marketing technique! ... so if the entertainment industry can't think up of a decent movie... just put porno in it instead! -_- ... for that reason, I'm watching this movie illegal >.>

  • $100 says that the people saying this movie is complete utter shit are American. I don't say this with any real prejudice it's just being Australian I find Australian films to be utterly compelling. I found the nudity in the movie to be in good taste because most of the time it wasn't meant to be in anyway erotic for the viewer. However the ending was a bit indecisive. And to anyone who calls this movie perverse please note that it was directed and written by a woman

  • @polker11 I am American and I also find Australian movies (including this one) to be wonderful.

  • fuckin pornn movie hahaha

  • @YoungAchieverz it seems it is ... how dare they to call it sleeping beauty? I A lame try to remake Eyes wide shut...?

  • this is the worst, most boring and bullshit movie i've ever seen in my life. They should all be shot for inflicting this on the viewing public. God i hope this ruins the credibility and career of everyone who worked on this piece of shit. If i was a friend or relative of the "star" emily browning, i would be so disgusted at what she did for money or her "career" or for "art" or whatever excuse she tells herself to justify this shit. Her father must be so disgusted, embarrassed and ashamed of her

  • Haven't seen the movie yet but the feeling I get by watching the trailer is that this is going to be soooooo abismally bad, lol. Feels like an "arthouse" take on the old Histoire d'O shtick involving old rich people paying to live out their perverse fantasies with pretty adolescent girls. Films of this kind usually bomb dive into oblivion (and they usually present a scene or two of open pornography in the hope of titillating viewers curiosity). I'll stick to Stanley Kubrick myself ;)

  • this movie so so fucking bad HAHA it made no sense at all. all it had was nudity and some hot chick and some old pervs worse's movie ever seen lmao

  • not good at all...

  • Well how many more movies are they going to make about disgusting pervs and helpless whores..

  • Emily has a supermodel face, porn star lips and teenage girl body

  • @fLicKinSIAMHIPHOP might be... but also face with no expression, pale, feeble ... I guess that's because she should fit into the role of manipulated and exploited girl in a film...

  • WTF is this?! One of my favorite Disney cheesy princess movies turned into a whore-graphy...

  • @MsCatherine12 that was my first thought so disturbing wright :-S

  • I can't even begin to describe the beauty of Emily Browning.

  • well,this is one the dumbest movies i've ever seen.i had to force myself,to finish watching it.what a waste of time.

  • @FightsRightsAlways i totaly agree

  • @aylin247 thank you;)

  • The only thing missing from the prior comments was the labeling of "pretentious hipster bullshit". I love it when philistines use that phrase to describe something they're not supposed to understand. This type of film isnt for you. Go watch die hard. But still, your negativity only fuels my passion for the arts. So thank you

  • creativity??? this was by the most ppointless film of 2011. the preveiw makes you believe there be a twist of some sort or a at least an entertaining fim. was this supposed to be poetic?? the movie had no beginning, no middle and no end.. What waste of my time.. Who the fuck was bird man?? why did she burn a 100 dollar note? why was she a whore?? im all open for weird fims but this was just rubbish

  • @rezendog thank God somebody else agrees with me.i mean what was the POINT?? why couldn't the men just screw her while she was awake? why was she evicted? why did she buy a apartment that she couldn't afford? stuff can be out of the norm,but i at least want to be entertained.this movie didn't even make the list.the other sleeping beauty,looks 10xs better then this one.i wish this would have lived up to my expectations,it only gave me the run around.

  • Did it come out already?

  • Those who expect a soft pornographic or erotic thriller, better stay home.

    Those who want to see a movie, bursting of unspoken feelings and hypodermic tension,

    a movie that crawls under your skull unnoticed and f**ks with your mind, thoughts and feelings,

    have come to the right place.

    This motion picture is written and directed by a woman,

    which says more than you need to know...

  • @mi85art Is that supposed to mean that only cuz it's written by a woman is interesting? xD

  • @rosada90123 Well yes, but not in a sexist way.

    Women dig deeper, think different and thus make movies you don't see every day.

    'cause, let's face it, most directors are men.

    And that's why this one is different, fresh.

    Not better, not worse, just different...

  • whats this movie about anyone??!!

  • actually I really liked this film. It shows a life of a girl, who left her drinking mother and started living on her own. She doesn't need her money, she makes it by herself. Okay, one of the ways is not the best one, but it's an experience. Lucy is lonely, but she pretends to be strong, though she really needs someone's shoulder... That's why she talks about the weddings. Whatever, the ratings are low, many don't like it, but I DO.

  • yet i dont know what the movie is about

  • p. I wouldn't say this film is bad, but I wouldn't say that it's a work of genius either. if your intrigued, check it out for yourself and make your own judgements, but I just couldn't find my self invested in it.

  • just watched this last night, was disappointed. The film is slow paced, which was refreshing, but after a while soon became tired. now I;m not stupid, but throughout the whole film, very little is explained, and I found Brownnig's character to be sociopathic, and cold. However I think my biggest problem with the film, is how little to nothing actually happens! Also, if your going to make a film with a disturbing premise, which this movie certainly had, you have to have the substance to back it u

  • well, the film looks quite intense strong, brutal and dark. Seems interesting!

  • wow...that was heavy....almost didn't have the stomach for it

  • The last song on the trailer, somebody knows if there is a longer version, maybe an album soundtrack of the movie to download???

  • i wanna watch this oh so bad.

  • babydoll !! :D

  • this movie sucks! she is naked 90% of the movie and everything that happens here is like wtf and wth. dont watch!

  • @StoreslemLilleslem you clearly did not understand a thing 

  • Why, would they make sleeping beauty a freaking whore? come on now.. some kids are going to want to see that.. and their mother is going to take them, and the children will see things they aren't supposed to.. annnnd. yeah!!! What the fuck?!

  • @MusicForever676 The original story of Sleeping Beauty was that she was raped by Prince Charming, gave birth all while still in a coma.

  • @MusicForever676 because so many kids are lining up to see limited-release art house films? :/ Also, you obviously haven't seen the film. It has an actual artistic point of view which conveys a much deeper message than "making Sleeping Beauty a whore". Maybe you should stick to watching Transformers, or whatever.

  • the point of this movie is simple: shows emily browning naked....

  • 0:59 haha is this porn or what? LMAO Not my cup of tea xD

  • I am open minded (at least i think i am),,but still, this movie doesn't make any frikin' since to me

  • Could someone please explain to me what the movie is about?

  • @ForeverVampireFan @uffakuw

    she is a university student and needs money ..so she finds a new job where she is 'consensually' drugged to sleep and left alone with various older men..yeap that's her job and movie is all about this :D

  • somebody enlighten me please with simple explanation. what does this movie means? why does she works as a prostitute? why does she cry when she found out the old man beside her is dead? what is the whole point?

  • this is a TRUE fairy tale

  • Fairy tales, such as those that Disney present to us, aren't really what they appear to be. They are originally dark, frightening, depressing, and twisted. Sleeping Beauty's original storyline is that she is cast under a spell by a witch, and a man wanders inside a castle, stumbles upon her sleeping body, and rapes her in her immobile state. She is not woken by a kiss, but by contractions of pregnancy. I personally find this film intriguing and I can't wait to see it.

  • this movie literally has NO point at all

  • This film is obviously for cinephiles or people with an actual brain. honestly if you just thought the movie was ´gross´ ´dumb´or ´bad´then you obviously didnt interpret it with an open mind.

  • All these disney movies we all watched and loved as kids were actually corrupted adult stories that Disney took over and made into fairytales...so im not surprised that film makes today are shining some light on the twisted truths that is within these stories.

  • omg this looks soooooo good

  • suckerpunch girl? =O

  • u wont see emily anymore. thats what hollywood is doing. luring innocent girls to take their clothes of, ofcourse, the excuse given is "art". once they r done with her, she is thrown outside in the street like a garbage can waiting to be picked up. shame. emily i thought u were better than this.

  • @jologo200 its too bad this film wasnt produced by hollywood its an indie arthouse film dumbass

  • @jologo200 So true!...there is a whole can of worms under the "glamorous lights" of Hollywood..its sickening..the problem is America and the rest of the world is full of people whos minds have been seared, brainwashed and manipulated with vulgar subliminal messages that they can't even see whats happening in front of them

  • this movie was fucking weird like srsly in one part there was like girls laying in awkward positions with their asses visible.. fucking weird

  • shes way hotter in sucker punch

  • @itssuaves agree with that one

  • @itssuaves yeah i just liked the blonde hair. how her hair wasn't as thick or long.. also because her jawline was more prominent in sucker punch. the eyelashes, even though they were face i still liked it

  • this is so dumb...

  • was waiting for this movie for ever to come out over to los angeles and it was so worth the wait I loved this moive so so different from any movie Ive seen it was very raw and real I felt like I was there in the movie with the actors I loved how there was not much music in the movie it made it so much more real  great great debut julia leigh ;-) can't wait for your next movie .

  • weirdest film.

  • This movie sounds just like YASUNARI KAWABATA'S "HOUSE OF THE SLEEPING BEAUTIES" book, published on 2011 as well

  • what an odd trailer

  • @dhivya1989 how was student services? i was thinking watching that as well and dont spoil please

  • is she burning 100 dollors AUD ? OMFG KILL HER ~ :O

  • David Lynch just called, he said to tell you "WHAT THE FUCKKKK????"

  • ....The hell did i just watch?

  • Browning represents the future of my penis being happy.

  • i kno i did not just see sum naked chicks bent over with they fingas in they ass holes 0:59

  • @doc10tnt WOW good call! Plusss they have a dope fireplace! What more do you need? haha

  • I like how the majority of the tags have nothing to do with it. "gaming?" "sucker punch?" "banned?"

  • For me it's the fact that writers, and directors think that making something outrageous is creativity. Just because something is taboo does not make it a masterpiece. Just my take on it.

  • I hate how they take children classics and completely ruin them. #slapyourself

  • @yourdisneyguide too bad that Sleeping Beauty has nothing to do with the children's fairytale....the film shares the title but is nothing like the story.

  • @csegui86 I know it doesn't, 'Sleeping' Beauty, get it? It's actually said, they ruined it in a way for some people. I mean when I heard there was a movie coming out, I was all like YAY but then I cam cross this. Oh well.

    But I really hate the fact they have so much shit going around in the movies nowadays. Quite sad actually.

  • i think the director meant to call it sleeping whore or sleeping bitch, that's how i think she is

  • @nfsznnzwych either you didnt interpret the film right or youre just an ignorant fuck

  • whats it rated?

  • I found this movie to be quite haunting and dark, like a fairy tale SHOULD be. People get to worked up over the littlest thing. I applaud Julie for taking on a beloved fairy tale and making it her own. This is called creativity, something that is lacking in this world. I consider this to be a modern allegory and a quite good one at that. People need to stop bitching and complaining, gosh!

  • @BrokenDollBoy I agree! Sleeping Beauty is by far my most favorite fairy tale of all time but I know how to appreciate a new creative version of it. Bravo.

  • Comment removed

  • crap movie

  • I just watched the movie because I wanted to see if it was good or not. Truth is the movie sucked. it was boreing, gross, and a waste of time. Really thought it would be a good movie because Emily! but it seemed like all she did was fuck people, get naked and let old guys touch her.... :/

  • @dearestimsosorry94 the things people do for money.....(just watched it too)

  • A film by jane campion... "extraordinary, sensuous, unafraid" -jane campion

  • @mrsdracomalfoy1000 It said "Jane Campion Presents" not "A Film by Jane Campion." She had nothing to do with the movie, except endorsing it and maybe helping the director find funding.

  • @mrsdracomalfoy1000 a film by JULIA LEIGH

  • the trailer is pretty good but the movie is full of shit.

  • Umm i didn't hear any screamin :/

  • I also find it funny how many people bitch and call it a horrible movie, when the fact of the matter is they just do not understand. She awakens in the end for the first time being shaken and given mouth to mouth, the drugs she took the night before effected the herbs given to make her sleep. When she see's the dad man next to her she breaks down. It's very simple. And the point of the movie it's self was a great one.

  • @lambchopclmt TAHNK YOU! finally someone on here who has a brain

  • For those of you wondering she was screaming at the end because she was sleeping next to a dead man. Quite obvious, really.

  • the black swan all over again?

  • @padfootpak not even close.

  • Emily Browning is just so beautiful.

  • Im guessing she shouted at the end cause the old man actually had sex with her and she felt sore...idk

  • is it based on Anne Rice's book?

  • Thumbs up if you thought you saw 2 brown eyes. ( * ) ( * )

  • why did she shouted at the end? did she not know that she was sleeping with those men??

  • @gulanxan i didnt really get it either :D... from half way i expected something more will come out of the film..but ..it was kinda unfinished for me...with that shouting part.....weird.very weird :D

  • @dhivya1989 how did u already see it? it's not even out in theaters yet

  • 1. It's about high class prostitution for wealthy men

    2. WHAT IS THE NAME OF THAT FONT.

    OMG DAVID FINCHER USES IT IN LIKE...ALL OF HIS TRAILERS

    so yeah.....

  • 00:18

    Yourwelcome

  • Even after reading the description box... I'm still having a hard time trying to figure out what it really is about. The plot, synopsis, the message... Can someone help putting it bluntly?

  • the "sleeping Beauty" is when the girls take a drug and sleep while men (more of a mature age) sleep with them.... I saw this reviewed on Margret and David at the movies (an aus show) earlier this year... hell wanna see it!!

  • wait this movie is about sex and prostitution? D:

  • at 0:53 are those naked chicks in the background? someone plz answer me cuz if it is this movie isn't for young children and the elderly! lol

  • @BlueSkullz101 obviously its for 15 and older i think ! and its obvious cuz of the way the trailer was..looked scary XD!

  • @spoiledGurl44 yeah, i would only want to see it becuse Emily Browning is in it

  • @BlueSkullz101 yeah. i just paused it. they're wearing these bra's with their boobs hanging out lol

  • @mikeakin14 eww, thats disturbing. who ever made this movie is very weird...

  • After seeing this very haunting and moody trailer, the only thing I want to know is, what are the heavy penalties, very heavy penalties....lol

  • its about prostitution like sucker punch or memories of a geisha

    classy prostitutes with elegance, talent and beauty...

    but they sleep to the girls

    for rape them :(

    I hate mens

  • So can someone give me insight what the ending was about? Don't read this if you haven't seen the movie!

    My idea: The reason the lady couldn't wake Lucy up at first was b/c the drug she took from the dude the previous night made her sick so the drink wasn't as effective as to a person who's healthy. Old man = not healthy = death. The reason Lucy was yelling at the end was prob b/c she realized she could have died too and/or she missed her chance to see the truth(abuse) in the recording.

  • I love the way it looks but im a little confused on what the movie is about.

  • @MelovElmo I thought it was the king that raped her...

  • this movie sucks, and now i'm pretty ashamed that my name is aurora.

  • 0:52 there are boobies

  • you're a simple minded fool that wants everything spoon fed to you if you think you can judge a movie because the trailer doesn't make sense to you. a trailer is only to pique your interest.

  • @lackofghosts dont try to act smart please, its my opinion, i didnt like this movie

    Go watch porn of your into that kind of stuff

    Your probebly a guy i you liked this because the girl is naked in almost every scene

  • @LoiseAriane And obviously their reply was their opinion, so don't get hypocritical now. And there is a very big difference between this movie and porn. Porn has no soul, no point, no plot-line. This movie is made for people with a dark sense of humor, for lack of better words. Obviously that isn't you. But seriously, why the hell complain about it if you didn't like it? Way to be immature.

  • @lackofghosts don't try to be smart with your comment, it's my opinion and i didn't like this movie, so what? Go watch porn if your into that kind of gross stuff. I like kind of strange and artistic movies bud this was just to strsnge

  • Is it based on a anne rice book? The book is titled sleeping beauty and about a girl who goes to a castle and pretty much becomes a S e x slave, a very S and M book. I am assuming thats what it is based on.

  • idk if you can say the dose was messd up... I'd say it was a bad reaction to a mix of the drug she had the night before and the sleeping stuff... that's why they woman always ask if the girl is in good condition, how was the older lady supposed to know that she was sick from the other drug she took.... I dont think she messd up the dose

  • just saw this movie, like omg.. i still dont get it

    and it ends so weird and the whole movie was just weird and a lot of stuff happens bud they dont explain a thing

    at the end she almost dies or something but they never say why

    stupid gross movie, dont like it at all! and what actress would let all those gross old mans touch her??!! okay im going to stop now

  • @LoiseAriane She almost died because the tea she drinks before each 'session' is heavily drugged and the woman messed up the dose. The movie wasn't stupid or gross. There should probably be some sort of I.Q requirement before viewing, however.

  • @lackofghosts You're a bit of a pretentious prat. She didn't like the film, get over it.

  • @lackofghosts i love you

  • I don't get it...

  • Creepy

  • at 0:53 are those dudes? or girls and why is someone clinching their butthole?

  • you know that it is a bad movie that after watching the trailer you still don't know what it's about.

    THIS IS A BAD MOVIE!

  • @Evawijnenx then i'll just tell you what its about its simple...its about a girl who is hired as basically a prostitute but she is aseep when the sexual act occurs so she cant remember anything, so she tries to find out what happens.

  • @Evawijnenx whats is not to get, she is an escort, a prostitute, its a twisted take on sleeping beauty lol

  • @Evawijnenx remember inception? The trailer didn't make sense but the film turned out to be great. Unless you watch the movie don't judge -.-

  • @Evawijnenx Or if the trailer reveals the whole plot of the movie, which is much worse. GTFO.

  • @Evawijnenx beauty.

  • im lucky emily's starring in this movie

  • OMFG, THIS IS TOTALLY A PORN VIDEO VERSION OF SLEEPING BEAUTY!

    COME ON!! FOR GOD SAKE!

    WHY MORE AND MORE MOVIES WERE RELATED TO PORN?!?!

  • I nvr said any bad things in my whole life except for few movies n had to b really reallyy disgusting, pointless n worst actors ever...!!!! But this movie the worst of life stupid, extra pointless and no fu##@ing sensible at al.............. The director of this movie must be an ...@@@sshole whu toook his time to create this n took my 1:30 hour to finish it..!!! just curiosity kept me till end!!!! Stupiiiiid @@@ssholeeeeeeeeesss all d wayyyyyyyyyyyy

  • This movie is basically pointless. I felt disgusted after watching it.

  • @TheSamiiBear I did too. blegh

  • i couldn't understand the end of the movie, when she wakes up crying, can someone explain me that please??

  • @ara89trhee she probably got screwed when she was asleep. just a guess i never saw it

  • I wouldn't watch that film again ;(

  • @Glitzermurmel what is it aboouuuttt

  • Oh my god. I feel like I just became about 5 years older.

  • this so about the book The Handmaids Tale, like come on, the Commander, she's a Handmaid, and the person who's speaking is a Wife

  • can i ask about the ending? it's just i have no guts to watch this movie. kinda freaked out everytime she's in bed with older men so i tend to fast forward those scene.

  • @elisefloraison well, it's really weird, she ask for a favor, she wants to be awake for once in order to know what happens to her when those men are with her, so she does and that's it. That's the last scene, she's awake but there's no men with her in the room.

  • Well you see there is a history on movies made about nubile young women and or starlets. I put this in category of movies like Tess of D' Urberville.

  • this kinda reminds me of black swan...... idk why lol

  • @ShobyReyes

    omg me too!

  • @ShobyReyes agreed.. movie ends.. but u dont know what it was about :D

  • oke....

  • this was the most disgusting thing i ever saw not to be rude or anything but i hated it the girl looks like she's 14 and who sleeps naked

  • "Not everything is Disney"

    -childhood shattered- Dx

  • i saw some pictures of this movie in google pictures and yahoo pictures.....

    just search emily broning naked on movie sleeping beauty and hundreds of picture will came to your screen...
