"The Impossible" is the most gut-wrenching movie I've seen in years. This retelling of the true story of a family caught in the turmoil of the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 is as heart-breaking as it is graphic. I can't believe they got away with a PG-13 rating. Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts give terrific performances as the parents of this family and really give the audience insight into the pain and fear that this couple experienced along with thousands of others. The film really takes the wind out of you which was the goal of the filmmakers I suppose. It's well made and definitely deserves the praise it's receiving but it is certainly not one that I'm dying to see again.
