Sleeping Beauty (2011)

Sleeping Beauty is a powerfully controversial film that left me feeling unsettled for days (that is a good thing). It very hauntingly portrays the self-destructive lifestyle of a stunningly beautiful, ice-cold character played perfectly by Emily Browning.

The film's slow pace is necessary as it focuses less on narrative and more on raw emotion and gorgeous cinematography. There are scenes in the movie that are intriguingly uncomfortable; the fact that they are both alluring and off-putting at the same time is, in my opinion, fantastic. A beautiful, realistic film.
