Review of Water for Elephants (2011) by Tvjerry — 25 Apr 2011
Robert Pattinson broods once again as the innocent young man who ends up as the vet for a small Depression-era circus. His attraction to the show's star (Reese Witherspoon) causes conflict with her cruel husband (Christoph Waltz).
The film makes circus life look romantic, beautiful and cruel (especially to the elephant), but the simmering discontent takes too long to ignite. It's not a bad film, but the drama drags and the most emotional scenes revolve around the animals, not the people.
