A rare gem in S’pore filmmaking favors artistic tools & plot/character development over commercial antics. A journey to rediscover a father’s life-a thoughtful ode to a silenced period in our nation’s history & the importance of art preserving memory

Unravels towards the end as I sat through patiently and it has managed to capture my attention throughout thankfully, with its deft blend of reality which the actors brought into the screenplay and theatrical message of love and family ties.

The movie clearly shows how teenagers act towards certain events. There are also many ’old’ scenes of Singapore. Would have been much better if the movie is longer, with a better ending.

Well, its a bit slow. But overall it’s okie for a true life typical singaporean boy’s life during his exploring n growing years. Watch this film only if you’ve watch all the other good stuff.

Albeit strolling at a slow pace, the film packs some interesting food for thought that will relate to both Singaporeans and foreigners. Sandcastle reminds us of our teenage years and how we use questions to discover life.
