Keeping in mind that this was a film from the perspective of Priscilla, I was not surprised that Elvis was nothing more than a wall paper But even that wall paper was very one-dimensional and flat.
As Elvis is no longer among the living we have only Priscilla left to tell the story. So, she comes out as a victim and there aren't many still around to tell the truth or tell it fron an other perspective. This is excatly the thing I have against this film. Priscilla comes across as a mere girl swept into a life of partying, drugs and a guy who builds her into his living doll. With absolutely no voice to her own. She does eventually at the very end. Elvis comes across as a guy who is there bringing in the money, goes and comes as he pleases and keeping his doll to his house and his leisure. I had hoped to see more of how Elvis made Priscilla decide to leave him. It was very rushed towards the end. Too much was given to their budding romance and too little to the end. It made it a very uneven telling Cailee Speaning did a decent job as Priscilla, though I never felt she became her. Jacob Elordi was not convincing as Elvis. Too tall, no charisma and not likable. As I mentioned, nothing more than wall paper.
