3.5 stars out of 4 -- The film is a remarkable visual achievement, made more affecting by the depth the actors bring to their characters.
Rolling Stone
The wrath of nature is re-created so masterfully by filmmaker Juan Antonio Bayona that it feels like a documentary.

3.5 stars out of 4 -- THE IMPOSSIBLE is a nimbly acted drama that is at once a stellar visual achievement and a life-affirming story of familial love and courage.
USA Today
The catastrophic nature of the 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean that opens the fact-based drama THE IMPOSSIBLE is rendered with nightmarish realism by Spanish director J.A. Bayona...
Washington Post
Rating: 7/10 --
Sometimes it's sentimental to a fault, but the thrilling and innovative filmmaking that's being done makes it all worth it.

Rating: 2/4 --
It might seem a noble project, aiming to show the rest of the world what hell some endured. But even a dramatic film can only suggest part of the experience. And I fear The Impossible might serve only to trivialize that experience.

Product Description:
Director Juan Antonio Bayona follows up his critically-acclaimed feature debut THE ORPHANAGE with this drama set during the 2004 tsunami, and detailing one family's incredible fight for survival. Inspired by actual events, THE IMPOSSIBLE opens on December 26th, as Henry (Ewan McGregor), his wife Maria (Naomi Watts), and their three sons lounge poolside following an eventful Christmas. But just as the family begins to forget their troubles and settle in for a relaxing tropical getaway, one of the worst natural disasters in modern history changes their lives in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile, as shock gives way to abject horror, the devoted parents fight to protect their children, encountering scenes heart-wrenching tragedy and experiencing acts of incredible compassion as the entire country of Thailand is engulfed in chaos. Tom Hollander and Geraldine Chaplin co-star.
