After Kurt Russell, it was time to retell Elvis’s biography for the next generation. And this version is quite good. There will always be problematic figures like Colonel Parker, the deep relationship with his mother, the teenage bride Priscilla, and the star Ann-Margret. And here we have them all together with a luxurious cast. Moreover, the script is not silly; it frames Elvis’s career with his famous 1968 television comeback and his fears that no one would listen to him anymore... A pleasant experience.
