Review of House of Sand and Fog (2003) by Antonia Quirke for London Evening Standard — 19 Dec 2017
While the book reads as tragedy, the film feels like melodrama, and really hasn't the guts for Connolly's natural spirit and warmth, or Kingsley's beautiful canniness. They both feel completely throttled, done in by the film's over-calculated heaviness.
