REVIEWS

Review by Justin Scheuble (posted on 16-Mar-2005)

No movie can ever be as touching as The Elephant Man. This is a story about cruelty that is portrayed so believably and realistically that it can at times seem scary. This movie is shockingly original, whose morals and emotional scenes are so un-"corny", it could catch any audience's undivided attention. Without movies as well done and modest as The Elephant Man, one may not take cinema seriously enough.
