Au-delà des vagues

For most people, the movie is slow and boring and you find the storyline everything, everywhere all at once.

But once you get the grasp of the story you are set for a good, deep and dark movie. The english dubbed version doesnt sound as good as the arabic, So I watched in Arabic with subtitle and it sounded way better.

All four lead actors are phenomenol. While the story leads you to the concept of hallucination from dehydration and injuries, the reality is far from that. The film is well directed and the end solves all the puzzle.

However it is not a thriller but a pure psychological thriller.

Dont compare the movie with anything and you will love it.

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 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.

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.

I gave this movie an 8, not because it is a good movie ( it wasnt actually bad) but because it kept me and my wife wondering what will happen eventually to the family. Any movie that glues me to my seat wondering what the end will be, in my book, is a movie worth seeing.

There were instances when i wondered where did they get this and that and how did some one die because it was not clear how. But quickly dismissed it for the sake of seeing what will happen next. I will not reveal what happens at the end. My wife felt it was a bit depressing cause the film was close to water and she always is afraid of water. To me i actually enjoyed it.
