5 stars (Exceptional) True story of John Merrick, afflicted with a disfiguring congenital disease, is cast aside & mistreated by society. Until a kind surgeon rescues him from his life as a side-show freak, and reveals a man of great intellect, emotion & depth. Inspirational. ~GenXGirl
5 stars (Exceptional) Truly inspirational and moving without manipulation or clichè. Incredible. ~Wizzums
4 stars (Very Good) It is hard to see the appeal of this film dying. It has an excellent story line, superb photography, realistic set designs, and brilliant casting decisions that stretch deep down through the supporting players. ~Tubbs
5 stars (Exceptional) ~Summer
