Elephant Reviews |
Gus Van Sant’s new film, Elephant, is a hard film to judge; it is full of style and is poetically told, and yet Sant (who wrote and directed) doesn’t necessarily make any bold statements regarding his subject matter. [read review] B
--Lee Tistaert (Lee's Movie Info)
Elephant wears its artsy-fartsy convictions on its sleeve. It's strapped with a mask of contrived importance, never once becoming anything more than a visceral exploitation of past events. In two words: Not Fun. [read review] 
--B. Alan Orange (MovieWeb)
Gus Van Sant's award-winning Elephant is a pretty-much-pointless look at youth and violence, following several youngsters (mostly non-actors) through a school day marred by a Columbine-style shooting. [read review] 
--Nev Pierce (BBC Films)
Elephant is nonetheless a remarkably intriguing look at a modern day high school - not to mention one of the most interesting movies on a purely visceral level to come around in a while. [read review] 
--David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)
An intelligent reflection on the Columbine massacre, preferring difficult questions to easy answers, with the sort of quiet subtlety that one would never expect from an elephant. [read review] 8/10
--Anton Bitel (Movie Gazette)
Impressively directed, this is audacious, frustrating and horrifying in equal measure - Van Sant’s film raises plenty of questions but refuses to provide any answers. [read review] 
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
A valiant experiment in existential pathology gone tepid. [read review] 75/100
--Jon Lap (Apollo Guide)
