Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Evocative as it can be, House of Sand doesn't have enough story or incident to justify the investment in time.
– Roger Moore,
Orlando Sentinel,
29 Sep 2006
fresh:
Cinematographer Ricardo della Rosa ... has created images of rare beauty in the midst of terrain so spectacularly strange that it sometimes seems to speak a language all its own.

fresh:
It is a wondrous place, almost of another planet, and more than compensation for the effort to get there.
– Michael Booth,

fresh:
Visually dazzling, epic in its sweep and deeply romantic in its sensibility, The House of Sand is one of those films whose images and ideas linger long after the lights come on, having been burned into the viewer's consciousness.
– Ann Hornaday,
Washington Post,

fresh:
A visual work of art and its simple story moves as effortlessly as the sands in a forsaken desert in northern Brazil.
