Judged this extremely harshly on first watch. And realized it.
Second watch: still blown away by hair, makeup and costuming. It felt a little hollow. BUT. Upon consideration, maybe that was part of the point. The pure insanity of living under Elvis’ rule and basically being a product of his influence since childhood would ultimately take away some autonomy. The actors did the best they could with the story as told, initially I mistook some scenes as lazy. I respect the direction and her reading of the situations. Priscilla approved, so we gotta.
