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 gentle best friend. Through Priscilla’s eyes, Sofia Coppola tells the unseen side of a great American myth in Elvis and Priscilla's long courtship and turbulent marriage, from a German army base to his dream-world estate at Graceland, in this deeply felt and ravishingly detailed portrait of love, fantasy, and fame.

Genre(s): Biography, Drama, Music
"A unique story, told in a distinct way."
— Fionnuala Halligan, Screen International
"An impeccable union of director and subject."
— David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter
"Empathetic rather than judgy, Coppola’s relationship drama hands agency back to its young heroine."
— Philip De Semlyen, Time Out
"This film says a great deal about Elvis and the dysfunctional business he was in and Priscilla’s modest integrity and courage."
— Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
"A transportive, heartbreaking journey into the dark heart of celebrity, and her finest film since Lost in Translation."
— Marlow Stern, Rolling Stone
"Coppola draws us into the immediacy of young Priscilla’s desires, the way her friendship-turned-romance with one extremely lonely man represented, for a time, everything she wanted out of life."
— Stephanie Zacharek, TIME Magazine
"The real beauty of Priscilla is its delicate portrayal of the all-consuming fire and flood of first love, and what happens when you grow up, and begin to realise the fairytale doesn’t always have a happy ending."
— Hannah Strong, Little White Lies
"Spaeny captivates throughout — Priscilla learns when to remain silent, and Spaeny’s eyes convey volumes within those silences — and she’s matched by Elordi, who captures the magnetism and the occasional monstrousness of the superstar without caricature."
— Alonso Duralde, The Film Verdict
