FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/priscilla-mini-review

"Priscilla navigates the familiar territory of biographical storytelling, offering a nuanced exploration of Priscilla Presley's life.

Cailee Spaeny's career-best performance skillfully delves into the complexities of a toxic relationship with Jacob Elordi's also convincing portrayal of Elvis. Sofia Coppola authentically captures Priscilla's struggles with love and fame, though it occasionally falls into a repetitive narrative.

Still, in the end, Spaeny's compelling portrayal elevates the film so much that I definitely recommend it for fans of the genre and/or subject matter."
