Priscilla (2023)

‘Priscilla’ is a solid story charting the origin of Priscilla and Elvis Presley’s Relationship. Sofia Coppola’s latest film features a standout starring turn from Cailee Spaeny and decent support from Jacob Elordi.

Opening in theaters in limited release on October 27th before expanding wide on November 3rd, ‘Priscilla’ is the latest film by ‘Lost in Translation’ and ‘The Bling Ring’ director Sofia Coppola, which serves as a counterpoint to last year’s ‘Elvis’. While Baz Luhrmann’s film was almost exclusively about The King, Olivia DeJonge popped up briefly as Priscilla, but she felt like an afterthought, since the focus was on Presley (Austin Butler) and manipulative manager Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks). In this new film, it’s Elvis who drifts in and out of Priscilla’s life, and the Colonel is only ever heard as a voice on a phone.
