It has been a long time since I saw a movie of this grandeur with fabulous acting portrayals. The editing is amazing and the point of view that the audience is given is so close you can almost feel Elvis sweat. Austin Butler inhabits the title role and it's hard to believe you're not actually watching Elvis. I had seen Austin on TV describing his research and work ethic, and it's clear from the results that he was totally successful (and deserving of his Golden Globe - other award shows are pending as I write this.) I knew he was influenced by Black musicians but I didn't know the extent until this movie. Wow... what a movie triumph!
