A college student (Emily Browning) turns to niche sex work in Julia Leigh’s bold take on the Sleeping Beauty fable. Cool and exacting, it’s a powerful debut from a woman better known as one of Australia’s most acclaimed authors. Leigh challenges conventions of heterosexuality just as she challenges the eroticized pursuit of young women that marks so many art films by older men. (TIFF )
