Review of The Impossible (2012) by Bshop — 18 Jan 2013

Visual and hits you right in the feels. It is during the times without dialogue where it really strikes an emotional chord. The unreal situation that surrounds this family is unbelievable, them surviving is seemingly impossible (hence the title).

I imagine this is one of those "only good in theaters" movies. It demands, nay, it deserves your undivided attention. As far as acting/directing goes, one of the best of the year. The performances rank up there with other diasaster flicks, although this one is real, and raw.

Brilliant performance goes to the son, Lucas in the film. He stole the show from Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor.
