[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 438450, member: 7"] I decided to watch PRISCILLA (2023) today on Netflix. I don't remember this movie receiving quite as much press as the ELVIS (2022) biopic, but I was certainly aware that it was coming out, perhaps through information I gathered here on the forums. Anyway, PRISCILLA is basically what you'd expect it to be -- glossy, superficial, and turning a glamorized version of young Priscilla Beaulieu's life with Elvis Presley. There isn't very much in the movie about Priscilla's life outside of Elvis, but I honestly wasn't expecting anything different. The real-life Priscilla's claim-to-fame was her relationship with Elvis, so it's only natural that her autobiography and own biopic would focus primarily on her relationship with one of the most famous people to have ever lived. Evidently, the real-life Priscilla served as an executive producer on the film, but I suppose she had no say in infusing any depth into the story, the portrayal of her or Elvis as actual characters, or perhaps she didn't really care.
