ELVIS. (M, drug references)
Movie length: 2 hours 40 mins

Dir: Baz Lurhmann
Starring: Tom Hanks, Richard Roxburgh, Austin Butler,

Baz Lurhmann’s Oscar-nominated style-fest of a pic combined with a rockin’ soundtrack explores the life and music of Elvis Presley (Austin Butler), and his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks).
The story delves into the complex dynamic between Presley and Parker spanning over 20 years, from Presley's rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America. Central to that journey is one of the most significant and influential people in Elvis's life, Priscilla Presley (Olivia DeJonge).

'Elvis brings all of the glitz, rhinestones, and jumpsuits you’d expect in an Elvis film, but without the necessary complexity for a movie from 2022 about the King'. (Rogerebert.com)
