Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: Ozon shoots it all with such haunting economy and breathless intimacy, and Rampling acts it with such candor and recklessness, that the film keeps lingering in your mind after you see it. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: It crawls under the skin by placing you firmly in the shoes of the mourner. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: Ozon gives the movie to Ms. Rampling, whose performance is like a perfectly executed piano etude. Read more
Misha Berson, Seattle Times: An absorbing, visually poetic portrait of one woman's subconscious refusal to come to grips with loss and grief. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: It'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. Read more
Steven Rosen, Denver Post: Overall, Sand is alive to the senses. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Rampling, that magnificent, coolly alluring fiftysomething siren, manages to make all sides believable. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: ... this picture demands (and rewards) close study ... Read more
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: Rampling shows a veteran's craftsmanship in evoking her patented compound of icy reserve and skittish disquietude. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: An effective and moving account of the power of grief and denial. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Both of these Ozon films can do what few directors have mastered. They can make us feel exactly what the director intends, without overt or obvious cues. Read more
Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle: Each of the elements in Under the Sand is beautifully integrated and each in support of what is essentially an extended aria of loss and devotion. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Under The Sand lifts the phantom-spouse syndrome to the level of art, yet another dimension for this popular form. Read more
Amy Taubin, Village Voice: Rampling has never been as beautiful, not to mention as emotionally naked, nuanced, and affecting as she is here. Read more
