Starring:
Robert Pattinson (The Twilight Saga, Remember Me)
Reese Witherspoon (Walk the Line, Sweet Home Alabama)
Christoph Waltz (Inglorious Basterds, The Three Musketeers)
My Rating: 4.5/5
The star of this film in my mind is Rosie, played by Tai the Elephant who also starred in The Jungle Book, Vanity Fair, George of the Jungle and more; clearly the most talented elephant to ever grace the silver screen. Water for Elephants is the story of Jacob Jankowski (Pattinson), an Ivy Legue veterinary student drop out, who joins a travelling circus as their vet. There, he falls for the ringmaster's wife (Witherspoon), while helping her make Rosie into the circus's star.
It's nice to see Robert Pattinson play a different role to Twilight and in my opinion, opposite the exquisite Reese Witherspoon, he does a great job. Christoph Waltz also deserves high praise as the ringmaster, managing to stir up strong feelings of hatred; always a good sign to me.
Everything about this film was appealing to the eye; the sets, costumes, animals, leads, everything and I thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Definitely a must-see.
