When teenage Priscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley, the man who is already a meteoric rock-and-roll superstar becomes someone entirely unexpected in private moments: a thrilling crush, an ally in loneliness, a vulnerable best friend. Through Priscilla’s eyes, Sofia Coppola tells the unseen side of a great American myth in Elvis and Priscilla’s long courtship and turbulent marriage, from a German army base to his dream-world estate at Graceland, in this deeply felt and ravishingly detailed portrait of love, fantasy, and fame.
Starring: Cailee Spaeny, Jacob Elordi, Dagmara Dominczyk
“Muted, restrained and delicate are not words that ordinarily come up in a discussion of Elvis Presley, which is why Sofia Coppola’s approach to the King is so unexpected and refreshing in Priscilla.” (Kyle Smith, Wall Street Journal)
“[Spaeny] has a wholesomeness to her that fits right into Coppola’s hazy trip of a film. Priscilla is about capturing a feeling more than it is about recreating events as they occurred, and its effect is like living inside a dream.” (Adam Graham, Detroit News)
