REVIEW #333 Priscilla (2023)

Following teenage Priscilla Beaulieu as she meets Elvis Presley, who is already at the heights of his fame. The sweet, caring rockstar however, soon fades in private. 

Priscilla is definitely a movie that needed to be made, Elvis is often glorified in every project he’s featured in but in reality there were a lot of questionable actions that need to be called out, Priscilla does this. With Mrs. Presley actually acting as executive producer on the movie. However the execution was pretty disappointing, I found myself bored pretty quickly and that feeling continued until the end of the film. Like with most movies spanning across a large timeframe, the pacing was all over the place and although the subject matter was interesting to know, it wasn’t enough to stop me from wishing it would end sooner rather than later. 

Overall (5.8/10)

Thanks for reading.
