Priscilla Reviews
The story is worthwhile, understanding the less idolised side of Elvis and his behaviour with Priscilla was very interesting. But it is a good film? I'm not so sure. Aside from that, Elvis mumbles a heck of a lot, yes I get the actor is trying to copy the accent but he is very hard to understand often which detracts from the film.
I was disappointed with the film; it was stilted and poorly directed. Elordi just came across as a weirdo, rather than the world's sexiest singer. Why choose somebody who was so tall against someone so short? Elvis isn't here to give his side of the story so Priscilla got the last word in, even if it wasn't true.
I Love Sofia Coppolas movies generally but this was soooo boring. It went nowhere and didn't feel a connection with any of the characters
This movie is absolutely beautiful. i could watch it over and over again. it captures the affects and struggles of a toxic relationship, especially one with an age gap.
Did not do Elvis dirty ENOUGH. I mean some of his friends say stuff like: he was into little girls' feet. What about that time he shot a 온라인카지노추천 cause he was mad at the guy on it? Even Lisa Marie will confirm that one. And some of these memories of Priscilla's definitely lend to the high level creeper side of the story- why did he dope her for two days the first time she came to visit? What about the whole thing where he couldn't stand to touch a woman after he took her virginity, they barely brushed that even a little. Or that he was disgusted by Priscilla when she was pregnant? I dunno why we are still trying to defend this child molester 80 years later...
A fascinating insight into the life of a very well-loved superstar, and a timid young girl. Everything, from the direction, to the acting, and to the costumes, was executed with perfection and elegance. Cailee Spaeny’s performance was outstanding, and her articulating her body language to say something without needing her voice was truly captivating. Jacob Elordi perfectly delivered the environment needed for Elvis Presley, the watcher both being disgusted by his actions, but still enamoured by his charm and charisma. No notes. Sofia Coppola, you did it again.

although the point of the movie is very dark and frustrating they presented it so good the narcissistic Jacob Elordi as Elvis kind of reminds me of his role in Euphoria just in a more adult way you really get Priscilla’s twisted start of life as Mrs. Presley and her slowly empowering
I watched it again after years and I liked it even more. It ages pretty well and I can't stop thinking about the sensation that is Cailee Spaeny. I can't wait to see her in more projects. Also, let's just say that nowadays Sofia Coppola executes her ideas in a more poignant and positively enduring manner than her father. Loved the costume design too. That was on point.
everything about this film is gold
Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é bacana, esse filme tem uma história até que interessante do elvis presley junto com a Priscila presley, esse filme teve um foca na Priscila mas isso não foi o suficiente para o filme ser bom, as cenas dos dois juntos são bacaninhas, mas o resto é chato.
A poignant but refreshing new lens into the impact of Elvis Presley from his wife Priscilla’s perspective. It shows just how inappropriate and messed up their relationship was, with just how young and isolated she was while under his increasingly dysfunctional and manipulative influence that feels genuinely creepy and unsettling. The main cast is terrific and feels more subtle than the previous Elvis movie. The cinematography is gorgeous and very engaging. My only major issue is that the final portion of the film feels too rushed and condensed. The pacing of the film up to that point flowed very well, but the end feels a little hollow with less payoff than what we could’ve gotten, at least compared to the previous Elvis movie (credit where credit is due). That being said, it’s still a terrific biopic that sheds new light on one of America’s most famous celebrity couples.
Caille is amazing, first of all. But other than that, this might be one of the dullest watches I’ve ever seen. I was expecting something slightly darker, but for all the talk of Elordi’s capturing the darker Elvis all I saw was the same flat, dull character he excels at. There must be a reason they did not show him in any performance capacity. The brief glimpse of him trying to emulate Elvis’s stage presence or a public persona are painful. He’s not great in motion. But Caille captures Priscilla‘s determination, boredom, frustration, attempts at independence, and growing realization of the trap. She’s in, both specifically and as a woman in this time period. She should’ve gotten more attention for this role and I really hope she gets a star vehicle.
Absolutely brilliant.
Was not convinced. Height difference = crazy. Priscilla looks 14 throughout the whole thing. That one moment they showed Priscilla writing a letter had such fake looking cursive. I can understand how it may have been difficult to condense a long period of time into a short period but a lot of the scenes were way too short. If this film had added more bulk to the scenes and more dialogue and was around 2 hours 30m it would have read way better. Also, unless I am mistaken about the jargon of Elvis in the 60s why was Jacob Elordi saying stuff like "boys, boys, boys" as Elvis? Literally sounded like a casual conversation between the boys. Something was just off about his version of Elvis and I could see him thinking about how he was going to perform it. Another thing with having the scenes short is that it made his aggression so random like damn why are you throwing a chair at the wall baby girl this conversation has been happening for like 7 seconds. I also was laughing when they had the scene of him playing the piano in Germany and singing because there's no way a damn peep was coming from his mouth. Lip sync battle vibe honestly. I enjoyed some parts of it stylistically. I liked the set-dressing of the Elvis home. I enjoyed her costumes. Overall though I couldn't get into the story because there wasn't enough to latch onto and the casting choices took me completely out of it all.
Coppola failed on this one. She was more concerned with rewriting history and playing on her good will from her other decent indie films to do good background research. The only positive was the background acting of Jacob Elordi. Spaeny was contrived.
i think it was a really good film. you didn’t need her words to know how she felt, you could feel it in her expressions and the way she acted, the people who say it’s annoying that she didn’t talk as much didn’t get it. i am slightly disappointed because it just showed her life with elvis, it’s like she’ll always be shadowed in his spotlight.
SOFIA YOUVE DONE IT AGAIN
Very boring, by the end of the movie it felt like it hadn’t begun. Not much substance, and the character of Priscilla was undeveloped and hardly spoke.
The first thing you notice about Priscilla (Cailee Spaeny) and Elvis (Jacob Elordi) is their disparity in size and age. Elordi is 6’5 and Spaeny 5’1, but in his military uniform and chiseled features, he’s a king with a local peasant girl being shepherded to his quarters, more or less. In real life, the actors are only a year or so apart. Priscilla is diminutive innocence manifest who is being courted by the most popular person in the world, probably. With this setup, I was ready for an engaging, little-told story that never materialized. Coppola assumes that we are familiar with why Elvis is Elvis. For many, that’s probably true — especially given Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis coming out only last year — but this isn’t a paired movie and Elordi isn’t Austin Butler. Give us some early scenes of why he’s the King and not just some singer. Yes, this is supposed to be an intimate story of the (surprisingly chaste) behind-the-scenes moments, wherein Elvis seems more interested in shooting guns and playing bumper cars with his friends than ravishing his young wife, but watching Priscilla pout as she longs for her husband’s attention only can take a plot so far. Don’t get me wrong, Elvis is terrible. He’s manipulative, dishonest, and destructive, but you don’t tune into a movie like Priscilla for a run-of-the-mill story concerning a toxic husband. It’s also far too long. There’s a lot of the same — Elvis comes home, messes around, leaves to go on tour or back to Hollywood for a movie, rumors swell — for 159 minutes. You’re waiting for her to go and get into some of her own trouble just to feel something. You’re basically rooting for it. The acting and production value give the movie intrigue, but the plot is too bland to push it into 4 ½ star territory. Lastly, did Priscilla ever really love him? The generous side of me wants to say “yes,” but she was just far too young to comprehend the magnitude of the relationship. That being said, ending the movie with Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You,” arguably the greatest break-up song of all time (maybe behind “Go Your Own Way,”) doesn’t feel merited. Give me devastation, then play the Parton.
