Austin Butler might not look much like the King, but he captures the singer's feral energy - and his singing impresses too.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 17, 2025

The story shows that the artist took elements from different musical styles such as gospel and blues, to fuse them with country music, rock and roll and even opera. All this through aesthetic characteristic of the director, like comics and the video clip

| Original Score: 8/10 | Aug 21, 2024

Elvis is Baz Luhrmann’s best film since Moulin Rouge!, a frantic, kinetic and incredibly captivating biopic about the King of Rock and Roll.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 25, 2024

Director Baz Luhrmann’s sixth feature-length film “Elvis“ is officially the best superhero story of 2022.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 9, 2024

Elvis is a powerhouse of music, superb performances, and immaculate filmmaking. It’s a religious experience of a film. A spiritual exercise in movie making. One of the best films of the year – any year.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 3, 2024

The first twenty-some-odd minutes of this film is masterful at completely and utterly overloading the viewer.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 19, 2024

Luhrmann overlooks a lot of the horrible things that happened during his legacy to create a version that is worthy of the big screen.

| Sep 8, 2023

There is no doubt in my mind that Elvis is a fine tribute that many fans won't regret watching, but it just gets in its own way and doesn't manage to stand as an exceptional one.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 31, 2023

The film gets in its way but is a good start for Butler’s growing career.

| Jul 26, 2023

The triumph of Elvis comes in the form of lead actor Austin Butler, who embodies the King from start to finish. Butler's performance brings life to an often cartoonish man, selling his soul to director Baz Luhrmann's trademark flash and flair.

| Jul 25, 2023

Elvis is a strong effort from everyone involved, and is worth watching for Butler alone; he is a star. It's a wild ride that will undoubtedly provide fun, laughter and toe-tapping happiness.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 24, 2023

Colonel Parker describes Elvis as “the greatest show on earth.” If Butler’s performance manages to capture even an ounce of Elvis’ magic, Colonel Parker might just have been right.

| Jul 24, 2023

Austin Butler stars in a sensory experience so flashy and grandiose that it can only be described by the feeling it evokes: nausea.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 21, 2023

It also shows Luhrmann continuing to swing for the fences. His "Elvis" captures the enormity of this pop culture phenomenon, with enough chutzpah to overcome the bumps in the road.

Here’s the key problem: there are effectively two films playing out at the same time.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Apr 12, 2023

There’s just no reason for its nearly 160-minute runtime; but the music is fantastic.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 31, 2023

Butler here is a co-auteur in a way usually closed to biopics in which the lead actors are more famous than Butler is, and so we never lose them in their roles as other famous people.

| Mar 16, 2023

Another flat one sided look at a rock idol that’s never bold enough to challenge our perceptions of them.

| Feb 17, 2023

Rarely do we see a performance that is so electric that as soon as the film gets over, one rushes to search about the actor instead.

| Jan 31, 2023

A dazzling opulence of color, set design, and musical presentations.

| Original Score: A- | Jan 24, 2023
