House of Sand and Fog Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Tribune
Mark Caro
You feel you not only know these people but where they come from.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
House of Sand and Fog doesn't deliver on the gut level of contest, and neither does it offer any other terms in which it does deliver for the audience.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Remember the name Shohreh Aghdashloo ... she is the soul of this pungent film.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Like great fiction, House of Sand and Fog sees into the hearts of its characters, and loves and pities them.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
A powerful tale of a personal conflict that turns tragic when emotions spin out of control.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Serious and thoughtful; for mature teens+.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Partially successful.
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
... it recaptured my attention with the pitch-perfect performances of both Ben Kingsley and Shohreh Aghdashloo.
Newsweek
David Ansen
The vivid clarity of the images, the compressed fury of the tale, are impossible to get out of your head.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
If "House of Sand and Fog" ultimately feels like a failed exercise, it has less to do with Perelman's limitations than with a book that would have been better served by staying on the page.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
Connelly, who has often mistaken posing for acting, digs deep here; Aghdashloo ... gives us a portrait of a woman who is both dutiful to her husband and ravaged by his iron will. Kingsley is most impressive of all.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
If this movie isn't quite the contempo-Greek tragedy it wants to be, it's still a powerful, almost unforgettable meditation on fate, cultural collision and the morality of renovating a house that isn't really yours.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
The movie's intense watchability can be traced directly to superb performances by Jennifer Connelly and Ben Kingsley.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
This is a movie that has the strength of its convictions, and it's anchored by top-shelf performances that go out on a limb time and again.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
The actors' focused, careful work keeps us mesmerized as the drama builds.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
For all its histrionics, the movie never earns your sorrow.
San Jose Mercury News
Glenn Lovell
In the current political climate, it's required viewing. We all need to think about tolerance and how, like sand, it can slip through our fingers.
Detroit News
Tom Long
It is powerful, powerful stuff.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
It's difficult to imagine that Kingsley could top his blistering performance in Sexy Beast, but here it is.
