REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“..steamy and sexy with a smack of sadism..”
by Carrie Rickey [Philadelphia Inquirer]
“..it's not a total washout, and its unromantic view of circus life, especially back then, is probably close to the mark..”
by Roger Moore [Orlando Sentinel]
“..the unexpectedly good film version of "Water for Elephants" elevates pure corn to a completely satisfying realm of romantic melodrama..”
by Michael Phillips [Chicago Tribune]
