Priscilla Movie Review Rating:
Star Cast: Jacob Elordi, Cailee Spaeny, Jorja Cadence, Ari Cohen
Director: Sofia Coppola
Genre: Drama, Romance, Biography, Music
Producer: Sofia Coppola, Lorenzo Mieli, Youree Henley
Writer: Sofia Coppola
Priscilla Movie Review Out! (Picture Credit: IMDb)
What’s Good: Cailee Spaeny shines as Priscilla, skillfully portraying the evolving character. The film captures the quintessential Coppola-esque visuals, showcasing mid-century America’s aesthetic charm. The initial sequence is a visual delight, highlighting Priscilla’s iconic appearance with authenticity
What’s Bad: Despite its aesthetic charm, “Priscilla” succumbs to a formulaic biopic style, narrating the highs and lows of the protagonist’s life in a mundane, episodic manner. The scenarios lack the momentum needed to elevate the film beyond its visual appeal.
Loo Break: A suitable loo break in this narrative could be after Elvis reconnects with Priscilla in 1962 and invites her to live at Graceland. This marks a transition in the story,...

Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi attended the North American premiere of Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla” at the New York Film Festival on Friday night, where they sat down for a post-screening Q&a to discuss the biographical drama.
“I got really lucky to actually sit down with Priscilla herself and ask her all the questions I wanted to,” Spaeny explained to the audience, adding that their conversation helped her “know where I was trying to go and what I wanted to say throughout those years playing her.”
The production was completed on a tight deadline of 30 days, with producer Youree Henley emphasizing the team’s doubts that they could “make this in less than 35 days.”
Spaeny said the hair, makeup and costumes acted like her “anchor of where I was in the storylines.” “We shot it in 30 days and also out of order, so I’d be pregnant in the morning,...

Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla” is the Centerpiece screening at the New York Film Festival. But Coppola unfortunately couldn’t make the movie’s press conference, TheWrap has confirmed. Instead, the filmmaker sent a note that read, in part: “I am with my mother, to whom this film is dedicated.”
Coppola’s note was read to the room by Youree Henley, one of the producers of “Priscilla” (with Coppola and Lorenzo Mieli). “Priscilla” stars Cailee Spaeny (who plays Priscilla) and Jacob Elordi (who plays Elvis Presley) were a part of the press conference, as the film has a waiver from SAG-AFTRA (as have most of the A24 movies in the awards conversation). It is an adaptation of Priscilla Presley’s 1985 biography, “Elvis and Me.”

Judging by A24’s second Priscilla trailer, Sofia Coppola’s take on the thrilling courtship and tumultuous marriage between Priscilla Beaulieu and Elvis Presley should not be confused with Baz Luhrmann’s 2022 Elvis biopic.
This second movie about rock and roll’s biggest superstar is told entirely from the perspective of Priscilla Presley, who had met Elvis in 1959 when she was 14 and he was 24. The first Priscilla trailer featured movie images almost entirely overlaid with the 1992 recording “How You Satisfy Me” by the Australian band Spectrum.
Now the second trailer, which dropped on Tuesday, aims to tell the true story of Priscilla’s journey from having a thrilling teenage crush to a turbulent marriage to Elvis in a role that earned Cailee Spaeny a best actress trophy in Venice, where Coppola’s biopic debuted.
“I want a life of my own,” Priscilla says at one point in the second trailer,...

The idea to cast Cailee Spaeny in Sofia Coppola’s latest unlikely biopic came from none other than the filmmaker’s “Marie Antoinette” star (and otherwise longtime collaborator and muse) Kirsten Dunst.
Coppola revealed the tidbit behind her journey making “Priscilla” in her new W cover story profile, saying that when Dunst comes in with a suggestion, she tends to listen to it.
“Kirsten is like a sister to me, and when she recommended Cailee, I paid attention,” Coppola said.
Dunst met Spaeny while working with her on Alex Garland’s upcoming feature, “Civil War.” The 25-year-old actress is previously best known for her breakout work on Kate Winslet’s HBO miniseries, “Mare of Easttown.”
Spaeny told the magazine that she saw Dunst’s casting recommendation as a sort of passing of the torch.
“Sofia pulled out her iPad and showed me some photos of Priscilla,” Spaeny recalled of her first meeting with the filmmaker.

Paris-based leading distribution company Arp Selection has bought a pair of U.S. indie gems from the fall festival circuit, Shane Atkinson’s feature debut “Laroy” and Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla.”
“Laroy,” a neo-noir Western comedy with Coen brothers influences, just won three major prizes at the Deauville Film Festival, including the Grand Prize, Audience Award and Critics Prize; while “Priscilla” world premiered at the Venice Film Festival and won best actress for Cailee Spaeny.
Produced by Cannes-based company Adastra Films, the film stars John Magaro as Ray, who decides to kill himself after discovering his wife has been cheating on him. But just before he pulls a trigger, a stranger takes him for a low-rent hitman.
Michele Halberstadt, who presides over Arp Selection with Laurent Pétin, praised “Laroy” for its “wonderful script, pitch-perfect performances and heart.” She said she had a “coup de coeur” for the movie after discovering...

The future of Being Mortal is up in the air.
Production on the planned comedy-drama film – directed by and starring Aziz Ansari (Master of None) – was suspended earlier this year, following an incident involving one of the film’s stars, Bill Murray.
The Ghostbusters star initially appeared to downplay the severity of the incident, claiming he had done “something I thought was funny” on set, but it “wasn’t taken that way”.
However, in October it was reported that the incident involved Murray allegedly straddling a "much younger" female production assistant and kissing her on the mouth.
The future of the project remains unclear, with some reports suggesting that the film could be finished without Murray’s involvement.
In the days since the report was published, others including actors Seth Green, Rob Schneider and Geena Davis have shared their own negative experiences with Murray in the past.
