Review of Sleeping Beauty (2011) by Zach K — 16 May 2012
Sleeping Beauty breaks into a whole new realm where humanity toils in darkness to find that glimmer of self-satisfaction. Lucy, indebted to her many different financial burdens, sees to it that these bills are paid even if it takes the sleaziest of night jobs to accomplish it.
"Lucy in the sky with diamonds," an inebriated patron of hers blurts out in a night club when she reveals her name and the betting begins as to who will have their way with her first. Her life is an enormous balancing act.
On one end she is the temptress and the sleeping pal to the old, sexually dysfunctional elite and on the other she is the volunteer lab rat for her doctoral student pal, who eventually overdoses on his own medication, inducing a slumberous death.
Lucy's own predicament in the end leads to a sure entrapment of deadly sleep with a patron who may himself never wake up.
