Leave your thoughts about Under the Sand.
| Planet Sick-BoyJon PopickAs long as you don't mind the lack of unsettling content, viewers should find the film to be an interesting story with a terrific lead performance. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaOzon specializes in dissecting the vulnerability, erotic longing, and garbled intentions with which people regularly rub up against one another. |
| NewsdayGene SeymourRampling shows a veteran's craftsmanship in evoking her patented compound of icy reserve and skittish disquietude. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonIt stays in your memory, will not leave you in peace. |
| Houston ChronicleEric HarrisonIt's hard even to describe the movie without making it sound trite. Rather, by showing behavior, the film gets at the emotional truth that underlies it. |
| Film ExperienceNathaniel RogersThe film takes you slowly and confidently to the labyrinth of denial that often accompanies horrific loss. |
| Contra Costa TimesMary F. PolsA deliberately and gracefully ambiguous movie. |
| Hollywood ReporterJudith PrescottRampling is superb as a woman pushed to the edge of madness by grief. |
| CitysearchBilge EbiriA full-bodied, gripping film about the nature of trauma, memory and moving on. |
| Boston GlobeLoren KingAs the film exposes the haunted frailty beneath bourgeois exteriors, Under the Sand marks the advance of Ozon from promising auteur to artful interpreter of the human condition. |
