    Psychological, Moving, Symbolic

    Forced to disconnect from reality because the mind can no longer handle the situation. Entering an alternative within that broken mind, one that is so confused and scattered...is one's only escape from the pain and torment. Some of us have lived through that. It's like a body that goes into shock, and so does the mind when you have a nervous breakdown. The mind looks for ways to sever from the body to preserve life and ease the pain so one can survive. You feel you are drowning or treading water, but sometimes you see a light because there is internal intervention, via angels or other guardian beings.

    Sand Castle: Cinema for Those Who Dare to Think

    Sand Castle is not just a movie; it's a mirror to the chaos of our times. It boldly explores the futility of power games and reminds us that nature is the ultimate force. This is not a film that's going to spoon-feed you answers-it demands you to think, to reflect, and to bring your own life experiences into its narrative.

    The cast is phenomenal, the writing gutsy, and the cinematic experience unforgettable. If you're expecting mindless entertainment, look elsewhere. But if you value a movie that challenges your perspective and lingers in your thoughts, Sand Castle is a must-watch. For those leaving shallow reviews-perhaps start by reactivating your brain.

    Some people don't like reality, some have no choice

    I watched this because it was interesting to see how wildly deviant the reviews were and so I needed to see exactly what it was people loved or loathed about it.

    The cinematography is very good, and there's not a lot of script to this but that's the point, it's art and supposed to be through the eyes of the daughter. It's well worth persevering to the end as imagination becomes fact.

    Hopefully this will be thought provoking for all of you lucky enough to be able to watch this in comfort, not everyone is so blessed.

    The closing text of the movie explains everything If you've not understood it by the time you get to that point.

    The poor reviews either don't get it or refuse to believe the suffering of millions, shame on you.

    Not easy to get this one!

    Through the decades of cinema, there are movies that you enjoy most, movies that you love most, movies that you remember most, movies that you refer most but this one is different. To understand and to appreciate this movie you need to have guts. You need to have passions. You need to have knowledge about what it talks about. It's a movies that blends with the art makers want to deliver to you! Before starting to watch this movie remember that you don't have to expect anything from this movie and I want to warn all of you that don't expect that this movie is a thriller one! It's a movie that can bend your mind!

    Surreal Restively

    The movie packed uncommonly. It's not intended for commoners. It need special knowledge and composure to understand the message of the overall story.

    It's like spotting mirage in the middle of dessert. Full of mystery, surreal and tragically heartbreaking in the end. Very unusual way to send the message but I completely understand after final watching the movie.

    Very nice movie and touching.

    The storyline is running slow. But, don't worry. It meant to be. At first, I feel worry and dread while guessing what was happening back then, why it's happened like that, when it happened.

    This is how you can find your empathy what was happening in the real world.
