Priscilla movie review: Sofia Coppola delivers the anti-Elvis movie

Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla is the antithesis of Baz Luhrmann’s terrible Elvis movie.
We discuss Coppola’s sad-core storytelling, her determination never to leave Priscilla’s side, and her absolutely damning portrayal of the King of Rock and Roll.
We also talk about Cailee Spaeny’s central performance as Priscilla, Jacob Elordi’s menacing turn as Elvis, and the movie’s delicate handling of their very complex relationship.
But we also wonder if Coppola’s emotionally distant direction might have made the stirring true-life story a little unaffecting.
