The story of rock ’n’ rock icon Elvis Presley and the complicated relationship with his cunning and enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker. Austin Butler gives a charismatic, hip-thrusting performance in Baz Luhrmann’s dazzling biopic spanning the twenty years in which Elvis rose to unprecedented stardom in mid-20th century America.

Reviews

‘Of the actors who have previously tried to bottle Elvis’s lightning-like magic, none has come close to the physical, emotional, electrical energy that throbs through Austin Butler’s titular performance here.’
★★★★★
Mark Kermode, The Observer

‘Baz Luhrmann’s sweaty, opulent take on the King of rock ’n’ roll is not a biopic but a fairy tale.’
★★★★
