Movie No. 21 (2013): THE IMPOSSIBLE

The Impossible (2013)
Director: J.A. Bayona
Cast: Naomi Watts, Ewan McGregor, Tom Holland

The Impossible, though a harrowing film, is a tale of hope and survival. The story is based on the true story of a family vacationing in Thailand during Christmas of 2004 when a tsunami struck and killed hundreds (or, was it thousands), mostly tourists.

The scene of devastation is captured so amazingly that it's really scary watching it. The aftermath is photographed so bleakly that it leaves in me a harrowing feeling. And the best part are the performances of Naomi Watts, Tom Holland and Ewan McGregor. They're simply amazing.
