By David Stratton (799) for At the Movies (Australia) (716) on 21 Jun 2011

There's no doubting the film's serious intent, but while it's often very impressive it's also very cold and detached…

Review of Sleeping Beauty (2011)

By Simon Miraudo (882) for Quickflix (709) on 07 Jun 2011

Review of Sleeping Beauty (2011)

By Peter Bradshaw (3,667) for Guardian (4,584) on 11 May 2011
