"Argentine director Pablo Trapero fashions a gripping, fast-paced story."
Hollywood Reporter
"On his broadest canvas yet, Trapero mounts a saga about the role of conscience, which might seem old-fashioned if it weren’t so urgently imagined. An added fillip is Michael Nyman’s stirring score, his best in years."
The Telegraph
"Pablo Trapero’s White Elephant is a smartly acted, beautifully scored, often bracingly directed film of good intentions and big ambition."
