Elvis explores the life and music of Elvis Presley (Austin Butler), seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks).

The story delves into the complex dynamic between Presley and Parker spanning over 20 years, from Presley’s rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America. Central to that journey is one of the most significant and influential people in Elvis’s life, Priscilla Presley (Olivia DeJonge).

“It may not be slavishly devoted to the facts (this isn’t your typical birth-to-deather), but as with Todd Haynes’ glam fantasia Velvet Goldmine, the movie achieves something trickier and more valuable, mining shocking intimacy from sweeping cultural changes.” (Entertainment Weekly)

“…it’s the most impeccably styled and blaringly gaudy thing you’ll see all year, and all the more fun for it.” (The Telegraph)
