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.

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.

Sofia Coppola is gifted at capturing the interiority of her young female characters.

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

It is fascinating and touches on some of the themes Coppola explores in this remarkable movie.

The People's Movies

Priscilla is an intimate portrayal of the main character’s life, a character study into the woman behind one of the most famous men in the contemporary music industry and their controversial and somewhat troubling relationship.

Rated: 4/5

Samantha Schuster

Cinéfilo Serial

A classic biopic that seeks to tell the dark side of a star's story in a fairly conventional and risk-free way, despite delving into the depths of the plot. It's gripping, dark, and benefits from the performances of its lead duo. [Full Review in Spanish]

Rated: 3/5

Rough Draft Atlanta

Coppola tells the story with real sensitivity, never trivializing Priscilla’s feelings and employing teenage imagery to heighten just how much of that experience she lost out on.

Nothing new. It was just the way Elvis was. She was treated terrible.

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

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.

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.
