Ben Nicholson CineVue Tyke Elephant Outlaw never quite manages to expand its horizons... Still, it remains impossible not to be moved by Tyke's fate, however mechanical its presentation. Rated: 3/5 Apr 6, 2019 Full Review Glenn Dunks Junkee It's a striking film that can stand alongside Blackfish (2013) and Virunga (2014). Rated: B+ Aug 20, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Sad, but entertaining and a good learning experience. Elephants are really neat, this makes me want to research them some more. Good footage and interviews, and stories of the trainers and animals. Watched on Netflix at Sam's house with her, March 26, 2016. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review daniel h The film definitely has an agenda and a slant, but it's still worth a watch for Tyke's heartbreaking story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
