However, over time, the film’s critical reputation has grown, and it is now widely considered to be a masterpiece of independent cinema. In 2017, it was ranked number 100 on The Guardian‘s list of the 100 best films of the 21st century.
Commercial Reception
Sleeping Beauty was not a commercial success upon its initial release, grossing only $1 million worldwide. However, in the years since its release, the film has gained a cult following and is now available on DVD and streaming services.
The film’s modest commercial success is likely due to its challenging and unconventional subject matter. However, its enduring popularity is a testament to its quality and its ability to provoke thought and discussion.
