Our take

Starring Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor, Juan Antonio Bayona’s staggering dramatization of the 2004 tsunami disaster also marks Tom Holland’s impressive screen debut. Conjuring the colossal magnitude of nature’s wrath, this is a stunning ode to the power of human resilience in the darkest of storms.
