In Sofia Coppola’s Cinema of Girlhood, Priscilla is a horror movie.

Full Review | May 29, 2024

From Lost in Translation to Marie Antoinette to Somewhere, Coppola keeps returning to lonely young women who see beauty in the world that others miss. In Priscilla, she has found her perfect subject.

Spaeny, convincingly playing a 14-year-old dressed up to look 24, and respectfully adored by cinematographer Philippe Le Sourd, is so magnetic in every scene of Priscilla that even Jacob Elordi’s Elvis almost dissolves when she’s onscreen beside her.

Coppola’s anti-fairytale was doused in perfume and pink wallpaper to zoom in on a woman at the heart of manipulation, gaslighting, grooming, and possessive love. But it works, a great companion piece to Coppola’s filmography...

It’s an exquisitely calibrated piece of filmmaking, at once dreamy, melancholy and threaded with quiet power.

A bubble-bursting biopic [...] that melts the myth of Elvis.

Full Review | Mar 17, 2024

Priscilla is an engaging and moody memoir-biopic... And true to Coppola’s signature form, it’s an engrossing watch with a score and soundtrack that remains evocative because it doesn’t feature the “King”’s music.

This time we get Priscilla's point of view.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10 | Feb 18, 2024

The bulk of the film is devoted to the confusions and uncertainties of an immature girl who meets the world’s most famous pop star when she is only fourteen, and finds herself the object of a strange, chaste courtship.

It occurs to me that this supposedly romantic story sometimes feels like a horror story. [Full review in Spanish]

The filmmaker seems to have been born to tell the story of a woman trapped between glamor and loneliness; this story fits like a glove in all her filmography's obsessions... [Full review in Spanish]

The life of Priscilla Presley as told by Sofia Coppola is a journey of liberation and empowerment, a portrait that focuses on the part of the story that was never properly told. [Full review in Spanish]

The film does more to damn Elvis the man by denying the audience any glimpse of Elvis the icon.

Full Review | Feb 13, 2024

Despite a brilliant performance from its two leads Priscilla is still slightly disappointing. The screenplay leaves the audience asking more questions than are answered.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 12, 2024

Beautifully shot and moody, it often feels more like a fashion project than a character-driven piece.

Coppola, Spaeny, Elordi — with long-time cinematographer Philippe Le Sourd (The Beguiled) and editor Sarah Flack (Lost in Translation) — have found a way to tell this story that is as unsparing as it is sympathetic. Bravo.

In what is easily her best film since her 2003 hit Lost in Translation, Sophia Coppola presents a superbly directed, subdued portrait...The film also serves as a timely, stylistic counterpoint to Baz Luhrmann’s fabulously over-the-top 2022 biopic.

Coppola delivers a gorgeous offering of two tales that doesn't quite commit to the full truth telling and chooses the lens of, albeit incomplete, love.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 25, 2024

Priscilla is perhaps as or even more interesting than other recent biopics made with bigger budgets and a relative abundance of external action (and little or no internal conflict), such as Napoleon and Maestro. [Full review in Spanish]

Sofia Coppola is gifted at capturing the interiority of her young female characters.
