Arthur cares for his wife Mercy in the aftermath of an accident that destroyed her memory. In an effort to stimulate her mind, Arthur tells tall-tales about the mysterious scar on his chest, which appeared the same day Mercy lost her memory. His wild tales take Mercy, and the audience, to a sword fight with a samurai warrior; a gunfight in the Old West; an escape from pirates on the Mediterranean Sea. The setting is always different, but hints of the truth are woven within, hoping to remain hidden within these fantasy worlds.

And even though Kristen Stewart has a long acting career for her young age, her directorial skills in this film show a lot of promise. Her feature debut as a director, an adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch's critically acclaimed 2011 autobiographical memoir, is fully immersive, mesmerizing, and impressive.
Overall, Sand Castle was another lack luster war drama that will eventually fade into the many similar war dramas I have seen throughout my life.
