Leave your thoughts about The Impossible.
| St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsPerilous incidents have riveted audiences since Pauline was tied to the railroad tracks, but in the hundred-year history of cinema, few thrillers have been as emotionally compelling as The Impossible. |
| ObserverRex ReedPut a staggering accomplishment called The Impossible, from Spanish director J. A. Bayona, at the top of the season's must-see list. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDeborah YoungThe Impossible is one of the most emotionally realistic disaster movies in recent memory -- and certainly one of the most frightening in its epic re-creation of the catastrophic 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. |
| VarietyJustin ChangWrenchingly acted, deftly manipulated and terrifyingly well made. |
| Cinema SightWesley LovellA harrowing tale of perseverance and the search for safety amidst horrid destruction. |
| Tulsa WorldNour HabibThe true stand-out performance comes from 16-year-old Holland, whose cinematic debut is nothing short of extraordinary. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertBayona uses pummeling subjective camera work and sound design to plunge viewers into the visceral terror of a universe gone mad. |
| OK! MagazinePhil VillarrealIt's nearly impossible to do better than buying a ticket to The Impossible. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterTechnically flawless The Impossible is a film with a raw emotional wallop that will move even the hardest heart. |
| HollywoodChicago.comBrian TallericoA remarkable achievement in filmmaking, a film that is at times devastating, at times emotional, at times inspirational, and always riveting. It's one of the best films of 2012. |
