Movie Reviews of Up the Sandbox
Movie Review: A New Age Story and A Fantastic Barbra
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent dramatic turn! No one ever doubted Barbra Streisand's ability with a song. No one doubted her comedic talents after seeing her in Funny Girl and then Hello Dolly. But, like every actress since time began, Ms. Streisand wanted to prove herself to be something more than just a song bird or a person who could recreate a Broadway character on the silver screen. In Up The Sandbox, Ms. Streisand got her chance. Based on a novel by Rolphie, it is the story of a Manhattan housewife and mother of very small children who escapes into a world of day dreams to leave the drugery of her existence without abandoning it. Set in the turbulent 60's, Up The Sandbox is both a coming-of-age story and a tale about women's liberation at the beginning. Barbra Streisand is credible as she walks the fine line between an upper-West side mother and imaginary superhero. Unfortanately, one of her daydreams involves blowing up the Statue of Liberty which, today, makes this film a difficult one to appreciate. But taken as a period piece, it is quite innovative and although hardly covering any groundbreaking areas, it is an imaginative, well active and written movie that should appeal to most.
