Critic's response:

Among the many disaster movies of recent years, this - the only serious drama made based on real events. A rare occasion to go to the movies, not only for fun, accessible to a wide audience. Henry (McGregor) is working on long-term contract in Japan and at Christmas 2004 decides to go with his family - a housewife Maria (Watts), a doctor of education and their three young sons in Thailand. These are happy people who are concerned about the most common problem - the relationship of the older and younger children, fear of flying in an airplane, the prospects for extending the contract. They love to spend holidays in a new hotel on the shores of the Indian Ocean, as suddenly all covers tsunami. Family torn apart in an instant elements, and for the characters starts again long and painful struggle for survival, then tormenting thoughts about the death of loved ones and many look for each other. The film directed by Juan Antonio Bayona solved as a purely realistic painting, which does not inflame passions and pathos, showing historical events with almost documentary accuracy. Even the expected injection of suspense in the beginning, with a sunny beach, from which the first drained the water, exposing the bottom, and the appearance of dark stripes on the horizon, there is no - everything happens quite suddenly, while the characters frolic in the hotel pool. History with relationships characters also paid a minimum of time, but what happens in a monstrous muddy stream carrying the remains of houses, trees, cars and corpses shown in detail and at length, as well as further attempts to escape characters and find each other. Realism has happened and the ease with which viewers can try what is happening on himself makes them a deep emotional impression. Seen in the film makes once again to think about how fragile life is, how suddenly we can lose the most expensive - their loved ones, familiar presence is often not a measured value of its existence, only overshadowed by domestic problems. The central character ribbon becomes the eldest son of Henry and Mary Lucas (Holland) - in the beginning of the film normal teenager striving for independence from parents and annoying for his younger brothers. He will present rebirth that young British actor played a remarkable drama.
