Critic Reviews for Elephants

All Critics (6) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (1)

"Elephants" almost works, but it self-destructs with as much frequency as its damaged characters.

Kimber Myers
Los Angeles Times
A great film about toxic love, and I hope people seek it out.

Felix Vasquez Jr.
Cinema Crazed
Elephants is an authentic film that channels the emotions of pain, love, and nostalgia. Drawn from the experiences of the writers Alex Hanno and Luca Malacrino, Elephants is an honest look at what happens to young love when you grow older.

Adriana Gomez-Weston
The Cinema Soloist
Romantic scenes ring true in 'Elephants,' and the lovers' fiery arguments remind me of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's ferocious interactions in 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?'

Betty Jo Tucker
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Elephants is a film worth watching, but when it's all said and done, it's a good story with a good setup but sadly with a very safe payoff at the end.

Alan Ng
Film Threat
Quiet, natural moments, sincere performances, and clean, confident direction help an unassuming movie build to an unexpectedly resonant crescendo that might stick with you long after watching.
