I’m a huge Elvis fan but have hated every film made about him. This film was different. Go watch it and pretend it’s fiction. Forget everything you know and have heard; erase legend and pretend it’s a fiction film about a young guy on the road to fame…..
You will find a humanity in this film that has never been captured in previous Elvis films. It offers perspective. It is up lifting and horribly tragic. I left the theater feeling emotionally exhausted and that Was as a good thing. A masterfully crafted and acted film.
