The Impossible
My Review:
The Impossible is based on the true story of a family from Spain that survived the recent tsunami, one of the worst natural disasters of our time. Naomi Watts is the mother in this physically and emotionally challenging role – she’s already gotten a Golden Globe nomination and an Academy Award nomination and it’s well-deserved. Ewan MacGregor is the father – and he has some heart-wrenching scenes as he desperately searches for his family. The kids are all amazing young actors. The whole film is technically very well done. I was totally caught up in the drama and feeling for these people all along the way.
The Impossible
- -In December 2004, close-knit family Maria (Naomi Watts), Henry (Ewan McGregor) and their three sons begin their winter vacation in Thailand. But the day after Christmas, the idyllic holiday turns into an incomprehensible nightmare when a terrifying roar rises from the depths of the sea, followed by a wall of black water that devours everything in its path. Though Maria and her family face their darkest hour, unexpected displays of kindness and courage ameliorate their terror.
