"Under the Sand" follows a woman who is in denial over the disappearance of her husband. Rampling delivers a splendid performance (no stretching) as the film plods along slowly lingering over the smallest details of her life revealing her desperate grief one fragment at a time while even showing her in the company of her dead husband; an apparent representation of delusion. For those interested in a microscopic examination of one woman's grief, this film may have merit. For just about everyone else, it will be too tedious and lacking in sheer entertainment value. (B)
