Everything about this is amateur, but it's played sincerely, and the storytelling is good, with original elements and a twist at the end. It's not the traditional 'Sleeping Beauty' story - the idea of a sleeping beauty is more of a trope than a narrative in many other films as well. This film is unironic: the good guys have a simple decency about them, and nobody makes excuses for the bad guys, so it's a refreshing change from Hollywood offerings referencing the same traditional fairy tale. The central romance, featuring the elf character, is poignant. I found it rewatchable.
