Additional Information
A handsome veterinary student falls for a married circus performer in this romantic drama adapted from author Sara Gruen's bestselling novel, and directed by Francis Lawrence (I AM LEGEND). When Jacob (Robert Pattinson) meets Marlena (Reese Witherspoon), it's love at first sight - their shared affections for an extraordinary elephant stirring profound feelings of compassion within both of them. Theirs is a love that could span lifetimes, though the wrath of Marlena's dangerously domineering husband August (Christoph Waltz) threatens to spell tragedy for all involved.
Reviews
Variety - A splendid period swooner that delivers classic romance and an indelible insider's view of 1930s circus life., Washington Post - Big, slick and showy. It is also undeniably effective entertainment., Miami Herald - "Twilight's" Robert Pattinson gets a chance to shed his sparkly vampire persona and play a romantic lead with a pulse. The change suits him.
