Review of House of Sand and Fog (2003) by Kyle B — 30 Jul 2015
A remarkable movie with extraordinary performances across the board. From Ben Kingsley's remarkable and deserving Oscar nominated performance to Kim Dickens with only 2 minutes of screen time but owns every second, there isn't a weak link in the bunch.
Jennifer Connelly is great, Ron Eldard is great, Frances Fisher is great, and most of all Shohreh Aghdashloo is heartbreakingly great earning her Oscar nomination deservingly as well. It's expertly directed, writing, and has a powerful score from the late James Horner.
The final 30 minutes of this movie is powerful and one of the strongest endings I have seen in a long time. This is an excellent movie about race relations, police and government corruption, and life itself.
One of the best movies from 2003.
