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. 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.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

With Cailee Spaeny's performance in the title role leading the way, Priscilla sees Sofia Coppola taking a tender yet clear-eyed look at the often toxic blend created by mixing first love and fame.

Audience Says

Priscilla is well-acted and suitably sad, but be prepared for a slow-moving movie that can feel more like a series of scenes than a complete story.

Wenlei Ma PerthNow Sofia Coppola is gifted at capturing the interiority of her young female characters. Rated: 4/5 Jan 22, 2024 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald As Priscilla, Cailee Spaeny effortlessly spans her journey from wide-eyed adolescence to disillusioned young womanhood, while Australia’s Jacob Elordi... has no difficulty in evoking Elvis’s glamour. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 18, 2024 Full Review Stephen Romei The Australian It is fascinating and touches on some of the themes Coppola explores in this remarkable movie. Rated: 4/5 Jan 13, 2024 Full Review Yasmine Kandil Discussing Film The movie never skews from Priscilla’s perspective at any given point, loyally upholding the authorship of her life story. Rated: 5/5 Sep 2, 2024 Full Review Milana Vujkov Lola On Film There was a void, endless and dark, in the comfort of Priscilla's existence. As well as love, disturbingly abusive yet enduring. And Sofia Coppola nailed all that queasy glamour and somnambulic psychosexual malaise to a tee. Rated: 4/5 Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Daniel Allen Loud and Clear Reviews A tender, poignant drama and an excellent continuation of her muted but no less intoxicating style. It shows Coppola at her most understanding as she presents a complex, multi-faceted love story where two lovers drift apart. Rated: 4.5/5 Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Cheryl Nothing new. It was just the way Elvis was. She was treated terrible. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/30/24 Full Review jorge r This was a better movie than I expected overall, and it was nice to see a film as a contrast to the previously released Elvis film. Although I was not fond of the actor who played Elvis and did not find him wholly convincing, it was interesting to see a darker side to things and to not see him painted in some odd sainthood or worship. The whole relationship between them is definitely unnerving, and I still cannot quite fathom what her parents were thinking. Different time I guess, but still. Eye Opening! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/15/24 Full Review Jackeline I thought it was very dull. The story line could have been a lot better. She barely spoke and this was suppose to be about her life with Elvis. Not a very good movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/15/23 Full Review M Great movie. They aged Priscilla really well and really gave her the spotlight as opposed to the Elvis movie with Austin Butler. Jacob also plays a better Elvis than Austin. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/23 Full Review Jay There's a reason Lisa Marie didn't approve of the script. It felt like the film purposely trashed Elvis at every opportunity while portraying Priscilla as the victim who was completely helpless. Sofia Coppola is such a great director but I didn't enjoy this film at all. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Anton It was boring and full of old news.
