The Sand Castle on Netflix - it was astounding

[alittlelark]

It’s a ‘must watch’ in my opinion. I’ll be contemplating it for a long time.

1. I've been looking for something new to watch

Can you give me a little idea what it is about? (i.e. murder mystery, etc). Is it a movie or a series?

2. Looks like it's about a family on a deserted island.

IMDb rating was 4.9 which isn't very good. It got mixed reviews from viewers.

4. It is deep and not for watching while doing dishes or something

It is a movie to immerse yourself into. I really shouldn’t say anything more, but you will Not feel as though u wasted time……

5. That was a gut punch eh?

During the whole film, which is beautifully done and quite surreal, you're wondering "what's going on here?" and you keep watching, hoping to find out; there's just enough realism to keep you questioning and wanting the answers.

Then, at the end, you get them, and you sort of figure, yeah, I wondered if that's what was happening.

Not gonna ruin it with specifics. It is haunting, though. But well done.
