THE IMPOSSIBLE (2012)
JUAN ANTONIO BAYONA
Plot
Based on the true story of one family’s attempt to survive the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami; This harrowing tale is tempered by the unexpected displays of compassion, courage and simple kindness that the survivors encounter during the darkest hours of their lives. ‘The Impossible’ is either a rousing, heart rending epic adventure or an overly wrought and emotionally manipulative melodrama that gives little insight to the immense tragic scope of events.
