      Soham Gadre Film Inquiry It’s one thing to feel like a fish out of water but it’s another thing to exist with the daily pressure of draconian state laws that don’t allow you to be yourself. This is the heart of Elene Naveriani’s Wet Sand. Jul 16, 2022 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Terse and slow, with characters that stubbornly refuse to ingratiate, this is nonetheless a powerful tale of small-mindedness ultimately transcended. Jun 28, 2022 Full Review Dulcie Pearce The Sun (UK) This beautifully shot and quietly contemplative study shines a light on the issue of LGBQT+ rights in her native Eastern European country, with characters and a screenplay that strike a chord. Rated: 3/5 Jun 3, 2022 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site The situation is no doubt painful and oppressive. Wet Sand, as far as it goes, most likely paints an accurate picture. May 22, 2022 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat Wet Sand serves to remind our past and a cautionary tale about how easy it would be to take a few steps back. Rated: 8/10 May 16, 2022 Full Review Sarah Manvel Critic's Notebook This is an excellent movie about the tremendous difficulty of finding joy in a spiteful world and on how little an entire lifetime can be built.
