Elvis Presley has been immortalized in many a film, from the 1979 starring Kurt Russell as the King of Rock 'n Roll, to Tyler Hilton in 2006's Walk the Line, to the Austin Butler-led 2022 drama directed by Baz Luhrmann. But Sofia Coppola's Priscilla movie instead shifts the focus onto Elvis' young wife, Priscilla Presley, and her complicated romantic relationship with the music icon.
Based on Priscilla Presley’s 1985 memoir, Elvis and Me, the biographical drama features Cailee Spaeny (The Craft: Legacy, Mare of Easttown) as the titular star, for which she received a Best Actress nomination at this year's Golden Globe Awards. Saltburn actor Jacob Elordi stars as Elvis himself, with the film following the famous couple from their meeting in 1959 to their divorce in 1973. In What to Watch's official review, Louise Okafor calls the movie "a careful observation of how complex the man behind the icon can be and how hard it is to live in his orbit."
