Our take on Elvis

Baz Luhrmann brings his signature maximalist style to this 2022 biographical drama, tracing the rise of Elvis Presley through his fraught, decades-long partnership with his manager, Colonel Tom Parker. Framing the singer's life around that enigmatic, controlling relationship, the film blends history and music into a restless, kaleidoscopic spectacle rather than a sober documentary. It suits viewers curious about the machinery behind fame and the cost of being managed, as much as fans of the era's sound. If you enjoy stylized, music-driven storytelling and don't mind theatrical flourish over understatement, this energetic portrait of an American icon should reward your attention across its sweeping timeline.
