Land of Mine

...one of the most viscerally intense anti-war films since Dalton Trumbo’s 'Johnny Got His Gun'.

It’s a handsome film (...) but director Martin Peter Zandvliet’s use of sound, or the lack of it, is his most powerful tool.

A tough, well-made war movie – sometimes shockingly violent – about a little known and very grim moment at the end of the second world war.

...the sense of place is as assured as the vigilant performances, while the defusing sequences are genuinely suspenseful.

Som filmhåndværk er Under sandet førsteklasses, og for første gang (...) falder alt på plads for Zandvliet, der meget vel kan få et mindre internationalt gennembrud.
