MD - The Impossible


Laudable, visceral and with some cracking child acting I however struggled with this film. It’s has no pretentions of being an easy or enjoyable watch but having been in Cambodia at the time of the tsunami and back in Thailand soon afterwards I found it a difficult watch, with jolts of some of the residual suffering I saw returning to me for the first time in years. And yes its based on a true story and the facts are undeniable however the contrivances of the finale were a step too far and I didn’t understand the need to take such dramatic license.

6/10
