    ★★★½

    I really wish there were more scenes that highlighted the deteriorating nature of Priscilla’s and Elvis’ relationship. Honestly imo Elvis appears at most flawed because of how apologetic he is shown throughout the film. Yes, it is clear that he is emotionally manipulative throughout their relationship however, the contrast between all the happy moments is really off putting. I guess this is Coppola’s way of showing that things don’t always appear the way they are on the outside but to me it just makes the film feel really neutral.
