Leave your thoughts about The Ivory Game.
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn extraordinary documentary that gives us hope that the last wild elephants in Africa can be saved from extinction. |
| Common Sense MediaRenee SchonfeldPowerful docu shines light on efforts to save elephants. |
| New York TimesKen JaworowskiWhile more information on the animals and their ecosystems is needed, the stakes described here are immense, as is the sorrow over majestic creatures massacred only so that their tusks can be made into baubles. |
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloUnlike a lot of other advocacy docs—films that seek to raise awareness regarding some serious issue, often concluding with a call to action—Netflix’s The Ivory Game offers something spectacularly visual: elephants. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakWhile the movie provides common sense scenarios, its success lies in putting faces to the issue. It highlights heroes and villains to transform abstract numbers into human beings. That power trumps any lack of cinematic brilliance because this type of documentary seeks exposure and potential hope. |
| RogerEbert.comChristy LemireThe resulting feeling of outrage will spur viewers into action. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawBrings a new urgency to an old subject: the ivory trade, which is threatening the world’s elephants. This threat has not been cancelled or brought under control, as I had assumed. The film persuasively argues that it is all but out of control: so much so that elephants are in danger of being wiped out in the wild in just a matter of years. |
| IndiewireEric KohnThe Ivory Game may be a harsh wakeup call to anyone concerned about the future of the largest land mammal, but it’s also a keen evaluation of the efforts being made to correct the situation. |
| Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberWhat is admirable about Ivory Game is that it recognizes the complexity of the issues. |
| CineVueMatthew AndersonThe Ivory Game depicts humankind both at its deplorable worst and at its best. Its burning images will sear through conscience and consciousness but there is faint hope in the lasting hoof-print they leave. |
