CRITICS OF "The Elephant Man"

Scott G. Mignola

Heartbreaking drama isn't for sensitive viewers.

January 02, 2011

Richard Brody

Lynch's powerful depiction of Merrick (played by John Hurt) moves a viewer from revulsion and fear to empathy and tenderness. That's the very movement of the story itself.

April 22, 2014

Resource

Josh Larsen

...at its best when the story and period trappings serve Lynch's vision, and vice versa.

September 16, 2014

Resource

Roger Ebert

I kept asking myself what the film was really trying to say about the human condition as reflected by John Merrick, and I kept drawing blanks.

October 23, 2004

Resource

Christopher Runyon

Lynch shows a weakness in this film that isn't present in just about any of his others: Sentimentality.

February 21, 2014

Resource

John Ferguson

This stylish, poignant drama is probably the closest director David Lynch has got to the mainstream outside of the disastrous Dune.

April 22, 2014

Resource

Tom Milne

A marvellous movie, shot in stunning black-and-white by Freddie Francis.

January 26, 2006

Richard Corliss

This is a tale of redemption and transcendence, of the hunchback of London Hospital, of the noble phantom who wanted to go to the opera, of Beauty and the Beast.

April 22, 2014

Resource

Dave Kehr

The picture itself is a strange trade-off between Lynch's personal themes -- the night world of obscure, disturbing sexual obsessions -- and the requirements of a middlebrow message movie.

April 30, 2008

Resource

Variety Staff

Director David Lynch has created an eerily compelling atmosphere in recounting a hideously deformed man's perilous life in Victorian England.
