Elephant Ratings & Reviews

cultfilmlikerOctober 2, 2025
“Most importantly, have fun, man.” The real elephant in the room is people acting like this is incredibly profound? Does Van Sant think they did it bc they got made fun of for “being gay”? Lotta nuance missing here; that or just a very mixed message… Polytechnique did it better. Loved the cinematography though!! That hair immediately takes me back to grade school. The bathroom scene gave me PTSD While the theme / events still resonate (maybe even more now?), it is very clearly a product of its time, which is fine! But I am very confused about the placement and connotation of the shower scene. Was that a known thing or is this just some weird projection / condemnation of “sexual deviancy” Also, I GOTTA ASK: What kind of gun was that they were shooting in the basement? The loosest grip possible and absolutely no kickback? Most OP AR ever (I’m sorry) While clearly inspired by it, I still think that 2.5 minute Sandy Hook Promise ad also did it better lol smh
