Slow moving and drawn out but interesting story about love and betrayal. Good acting by Xavier Dolan.
Fine acting from a small cast. I think both Greenwood and Dolan put on Oscar winning performances but they've been overlooked.
It's a sad story and the interplay between psychiatrist and patient is mesmerising. Difficult to follow as I'm still unclear as to the exact relationship between Greenwood's character and the nurse. Some reviewers think that Carrie-Ann Moss plays Greenwood's wife but she's not. She's his sister and the little Down Syndrome girl is his niece.
An absolute must see if you're into psychological drama like me and I shall be looking out for Xavier Dolan's other films. He's a real star in the making.

This is a solid, really well acted film that requires you to pay attention if you are to find out the whole story. I find myself looking up what others wrote about it, the day after I saw it, and it is really to the film's credit that I am still thinking about it the following day. I have read reviews (not all of them here) that have erroneous information in them, particularly the reviews that are not all that great. It doesn't spell everything out for you, so if you're texting or making popcorn while you're watching it, you are going to miss something. I really liked it, but I found it sad and mournful, and wanting there to be a happy ending for the characters in the end. I recommend it if you don't need constant action to hold your attention.
Elephant song is definitely a psychological thriller. It's really just about telling a story. It's not surprising that this movie didn't make any money. It's not a very appealing story. Some weirdo mental patient that likes to mess with his 'doctors'.
Trinity looks way different with hair.....
+1 Star For 2/3 of the way through, no major complaints, and the story is keeping me interested.....
+1 Star For the Climax of The Story and the Payoff of where it headed.
The ending was just about Perfect. A well told story with few flaws.
7/10
