Elephant White

...Pablo Trapero...as thoughtful and perceptive a filmmaker as ever, using tools appropriate to the goal of drawing attention to systemic social ills.

...a potent drama about Argentina's lawless slums.

This is rousing, populist entertainment, with crises of faith, ominous external forces, masses of extras and maturing subplots rushing headlong towards convergence.

...throws us into the fray of an urban slum without in any way demonising or romanticising the theatre within which Trapero’s meandering story unfolds.
