	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"It’s a technically impressive work with some lovely images — and a bit of a sugary taste (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"Not quite Attenborough, but Meghan Markle is a snug fit for this sweet nature doc (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"[It] feels like an hour-long safari that’s been padded out to 85 minutes. That it moves at an elephant’s stately, loping pace is actually rather welcome (...) [but the] quest to find water becomes a repetitive (and rather dry) theme"	NEU
United States	Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"Seek out 'Elephant' when it drops on Disney+. What better way to welcome Meghan Markle back to America than supporting the work she’s now freely allowed to do?	POS
United States	Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"Captures nature in the way that one imagines only a Disney-backed production could.(…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Clarisse Loughrey The Independent	"Directors Fothergill, Linfield and Berlowitz are all veterans of the BBC’s 'Planet Earth' series, so they’re well-versed in the mix of intimacy and grandeur that’s become the de facto style for nature documentaries. (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
