Watch it for the elephant - she's a 900 kg enchantress and the true star of this movie : - )

I loved it. Beautifully filmed. Good storyline. Beware though, there is some animal cruelty, but it's not graphic and forms part of the story. I haven't read the book, so perhaps would not have rated it so highly had I done so. I felt the acting of the husband was particulary good.

AS with most movies a shortened out take of the novel ( which is a brilliant and poignant story well written and structured) having read the novel the movie probablly fell a bit short in substance but a good nights viewing regardless!! Worth watching..
