David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter Ghost Elephants steps outside the boundaries of science-based nature docs. It makes for a fantastic story. Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Leila Latif Little White Lies Werner Herzog peers into the Angolan highlands in search of colossal elephants, and ends up gently reflecting on the ghosts of human longing. Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com Unlike most of Herzog’s driven protagonists, though, Boyes is not a madman. Aug 29, 2025 Full Review Sarah Manvel Movies We Texted About Something about Mr. Herzog, maybe his curiosity, enables him to cut through the noise to the heart of things. If he wished to pivot into nature documentaries full-time the world would be very happy to follow. Sep 4, 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.
