No one:

QT: "Maybe I wanna direct an A24 movie."

I wonder if this will cover the fact that she was 14 and Elvis was a grown ass 24/25 year old man when they started their relationship. Or will it get a pass?

I'm interested. At least this one does have a horrendous wig on the actress that plays Priscilla like ELVIS did.

I don't expect it to be very hard hitting considering it's based off Priscilla's own book.

Priscilla's book doesn't really shy away from the problematic sides of their relationship. And considering that the Elvis estate managers are already trashing the movie while she's praising it, it definitely sounds like they aren't going to whitewash it. Not that I had any doubts with Coppola.

Reviews from Venice so far are pretty glowing...

Priscilla - Movie Reviews

Loving to hear the good reviews so far. It's been a very exciting week at Venice and Telluride.

Great to see Elordi is being talked about favorably. Lots of good notices for him capturing the role well in a unique way that sets him out from Butler's shadow while still being true to the recognizable traits of Elvis.

At the very least, it looks like the film will Elvis as less a boy scout, than he was portrayed in the Lurman film.

Not saying he was all innocent in that film , but this looks like this will show less of the "nice guy" version of Elvis, and will paint a more complicated picture, of the King.
