The Sand Castle on Netflix - it was astounding

It’s a ‘must watch’ in my opinion. I’ll be contemplating it for a long time.

Can you give me a little idea what it is about? (i.e. murder mystery, etc). Is it a movie or a series?

IMDb rating was 4.9 which isn't very good. It got mixed reviews from viewers.

During the whole film, which is beautifully done and quite surreal, you're wondering "what's going on here?" and you keep watching, hoping to find out; there's just enough realism to keep you questioning and wanting the answers.

Then, at the end, you get them, and you sort of figure, yeah, I wondered if that's what was happening.

Not gonna ruin it with specifics. It is haunting, though. But well done.
