    Character Evaluation

    Quiet, delicate, precise, thoughtful, and extremely self-controlling-Julia Leigh feels exactly the same as her work. Whether it is from the novel "Uneasy", or the novel "Hunter", and her directorial work "Sleeping Beauty", people can clearly feel that there is a calm mind holding everything carefully. The novel "Uneasy" is more like a movie. Julia calmly controls the distance between the camera and the characters, showing all their hearts as images that can be intuitively visually perceptible . 
    In the movie "Sleeping Beauty", director Julia Leigh's film thinking is quite confusing, the audiovisual methods are poor, the director has to express too much, but he is unclear. There are a lot of paving and branch lines outside the main line, all of which are clicked to make the audience see it. In the mist. At the beginning of the film, it was immature and unconfident, showing the causality of the development of the story in a straightforward and detailed manner, which seemed very unimaginative. At the same time, the film was full of many "deliberate" plots and scenes. The film is less than two hours in length, but it only gets to the point at fifty minutes. The extreme lens is used inexplicably, and the meaning of surrealism is not visible, which is nondescript .
