Swift and often compelling, it's also blessedly unbiased.

New York Post
As the lighting gets dimmer, Bellocchio’s direction becomes more focused, playing off Carlo Crivelli’s emotive neoclassical score to turn close-ups into arias.
A.V. Club
Despite the awkward narrative structure, the choppy film serves as a welcome showcase for ably understated performances from veteran Toni Servillo and rising talent Alba Rohrwacher, and a coolly burning Isabelle Huppert.

It's well acted and gorgeously and tenebrously shot.

Rating: B- --
Though the movie eschews facile sloganeering, few of its characters or narrative threads are able to develop beyond their function as metaphors.

Rating: B- --
"Dormant Beauty" is well-written, beautifully performed, and nicely made, if a good 15 minutes overlong. But we couldn't help but feel, given how controversial it proved in advance, that it should've been willing to go a little closer to the edge.

Bellocchio may sometimes shut these characters in their rooms, but his view of them all is as open in mind and spirit as a film can be.

Product Description:
Using the euthanasia case that resulted in a Parliamentary vote in 2008 as its backdrop, director Marco Bellocchio's ensemble drama DORMANT BEAUTY centers on a senator (Toni Servillo) pondering his impending vote on the issue while considering the position of his pro-life daughter (Alba Rohrwacher), a retired, deeply religious actress (Isabelle Huppert) whose daughter is in a deep coma, and a doctor (Pier Giorgio) whose internal conflict rages as he struggles to save a suicidal drug addict (Maya Sansa).
