This is a gem of a movie that I'd never even heard of. The story is well written and definitely an interesting take on the topic. While supernatural in concept, the characters feel very real and relatable, and you can help but feel their pain, sorrow, confusion, love...all the things. The cast is outstanding, Lee Pace and Carrie Coon are both excellent leads. You'll probably want to have tissues nearby because this is a tear-jerker. But even though it's bittersweet, it's also heartfelt and heartwarming. I was glad to see the two main characters find peace after all the sorrow that they had gone through.

The movie in and if itself is solid, but it is really all about one thing: Austin Butler. His performance as Elvis is truly mesmerizing and captivating. I couldn't take my eyes off him, and totally understood the hysteria surrounding Elvis in a whole new way. (I was a child when he died, so mostly knew about him through my mom.)

The movie spans years of Elvis' life, and I especially enjoyed the childhood flashback to the revival. There was magic in that scene.

I have a whole new appreciation for The King after watching. The costumes are amazing and the cinematography is beautiful. Worth a watch.

TBH, I don't understand all the hatorade...I thought this was an enjoyable movie with a lot of great action. I didn't find the movie to be slow at all. You have to suspend belief for any super hero movie, and this is no different. Natasha is a bad @$$, but she still has a heart (thus her sacrifice in Endgame). Plus we all know that 'families', real or contrived, have their own dynamics that bring up lots of baggage. I also enjoyed Rachel Weiss in her role. I find it to be another solid entry in the MCU. The best? No. Entertaining? Absolutely.
