The Film Stage
Roessner hasn’t written an anti-war or pro-war film. Sand Castle merely shows the honesty of war’s infinite complexities. - 60
Empire
Sand Castle does a respectable job of depicting a wretched conflict that none of its participants wanted, but its reason for being feels a little built on sand. - 50
The A.V. Club
It’s a stale, phony, grunt-level sort of view of American intervention, cast in large part with Brits and shot in the familiar desert backlots of Jordan, which has stood in for the site of one Middle Eastern conflict after another since "Lawrence Of Arabia." - 50
Movie Nation
A combat movie that’s as generic as they come. - 50
We Got This Covered
Sand Castle is an Iraq war story about certain futility, but there's a certain redundancy to political overtones that preach what we've been hearing all along. - 38
Slant Magazine
Unwittingly perhaps, the film reveals itself as a microcosm of America's foreign policy in the Middle East. - 38

Fernando Coimbra’s Sand Castle offers too little to the War is Hell genre to be noteworthy.
