Hard to believe that these events will see their 20th anniversary this year. I’m wondering how they are all doing now… an excellent movie with great and believable performances, Sönke Möhring and Geraldine Chaplin with small but important supporting roles, the kids are great!

A real-life story in a disastrous setting, with excellent performances!

Great movie, seen it a dozen times by now and it never lost its power, especially since it’s very authentic and feels really real. For those complaining that the cast is rather British than Spanish, it might not have received the attention as a local Spanish production that it got with aiming for a more international audience. For me at least, having Obi Wan Kenobi and Billy Elliot in the cast certainly was a factor watching it. The kids are great, chilling to see Lucas and Thomas grow up in a split second when they had to. It’s graphic at times, ok, but that’s part of being true to what happened.

A great family movie everyone should watch. A little movie that gets across the trials and tribulations and helplessness when Mother Nature comes calling. Least when you expect it and unprepared....what would YOU do? Makes you think real hard. The eldest boy's acting is a star in the making, most definitely.

This is a movie that can make you cry, very amazing acting by those kids, though do not see a oscar nomination in Naomi Watts performance.

Very well-made, touching film about life and how it can be so drastically changed in an instant. Shows the true struggles and joys of life. Very emotional film. Would recommend for sure because of stunning filmography and great acting.

Very realistic depiction of the 2004 Tsunami in Thailand. The story of one family's struggle to survive the tsunami and re-unite.
