Priscilla (2023)
1/10
Pitiful
19 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
An appalling treatment - by Sofia Coppola no less -of the pedophile Elvis and his child-prey Priscilla.

Murky images, film jumping timelines like a bunny rabbit, no character development whatsoever and actors looking like they don't know what to do with the appalling script and inadequate direction.

It begs more questions than it answers. Why on earth would two responsible appearing parents pimp out their daughter to a man like creepy Elvis? (And yes, before I knew all this I was a fan of his, being of an age with him). They should have been charged with child neglect.

Not one whit of Elvis music is offered to dispel this absolute drivel.

Just this Svangali Elvis controlling every petty move of Priscilla's while he has multiple liaisons with every woman on set.

A tired Priscilla finally leaves him but nothing is shown as to how she gets to that point or how she secured an exit with adequate wealth for herself and her daughter.

A travesty of a film and one to avoid.

0/10.
