Priscilla
When teenage Priscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley at a party, the man who is already a meteoric rock-and-roll superstar becomes someone entirely unexpected in private moments: a thrilling crush, an ally in loneliness, a vulnerable best friend.
Critics Sentiment
Priscilla moves to Memphis to finish high school
Elvis and Priscilla begin leading completely separate lives
The film peaks during Priscilla's high school infatuation period then steadily declines as the marriage storyline runs out of dramatic steam.
Critics praised Coppola's visual style and Spaeny's performance, particularly in the early courtship sections, but found the film increasingly mechanical and emotionally flat as it progressed. The movie succeeds as an uncomfortable portrait of a problematic relationship but fails to provide deeper insights into Priscilla as a person. While technically competent, many reviewers found it ultimately forgettable and lacking the energy needed to sustain its full runtime.
