Why people love it

People revisit Elephant for the same reason it broke through in 2020: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a family rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Mark Linfield keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The documentary and family blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
