TL;DR Summary

"Priscilla" is a quietly unsettling and haunting film directed by Sofia Coppola, based on the book "Elvis and Me" by Priscilla Presley and Sandra Harmon. The movie explores the courtship and neglect of Priscilla Beaulieu by Elvis Presley, highlighting the unsettling age difference between them. Cailee Spaeny delivers a star-making performance as Priscilla, while Jacob Elordi portrays Elvis as an insecure and self-consumed man-child. The film takes its time to depict their early courtship in Germany and later follows their tumultuous relationship in Memphis, Vegas, and Los Angeles. "Priscilla" captures Priscilla's transition from a young girl swept up in a fairy tale to a disillusioned mother.
