Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com Unlike most of Herzog’s driven protagonists, though, Boyes is not a madman. Aug 29, 2025 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian A marvellously warm and engaging study. Rated: 4/5 Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Sophie Monks Kaufman IndieWire For those willing to piece the picture together from its most glorious sections, this is an affectionate and affection-inducing pursuit of real animals and unreachable dreams. Rated: B Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Savina Petkova The Film Stage Herzog’s commentary envelops Ghost Elephants like a storyteller’s cloak, recounting not only the work done by and kept in the Smithsonian vaults, but also Dr. Boyes’ expedition to the highlands of Angola. Aug 29, 2025 Full Review Lee Marshall Screen International Most importantly, Ghost Elephants is an engaging story well-told, one that takes us to a far-flung part of the world, exposes its raw beauty, and spends time with its curious human inhabitants. Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Matthew Turner Next Best Picture The distinctive intonations of Herzog himself are present throughout the movie, offering a unique pleasure all their own, with his trademark mixture of dreamy hyperbole and gloomy pessimism. Rated: 8/10 Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
