You will come out of this film convinced that Elvis was one of the greatest entertainers who ever lived.
Baz Luhrmann (the director of the 2022 Elvis movie) helms this incredible documentary—but calling it a “documentary” almost undersells it, because it’s anything but dry or boring.

The movie weaves together electrifying Vegas performances with tons of backstage footage, rehearsals, interviews, and rare film clips. Luhrmann’s editing is masterful, stitching it all into something thrilling to watch. The audio and picture quality from 50 years ago are shockingly sharp—you’d never guess the age.
It’s also a vivid time capsule of the ’70s: the colors, the wild fashions (that one rehearsal shirt early on is unforgettable – you’ll know what I’m talking about when you see it). Elvis just radiates pure show business; he’s mesmerizing.

about the RunPee app.

One of the most useful apps I've ever come across. I've used it for years and recommended it to all my friends. Even if I'm not the type to have to pee during movies often, being able to pull up the app and pass my phone to my mom/friend/grandma so that they know when to go to the bathroom has been invaluable. Because then I don't have to summarize anything when they get back!!

I can’t recommend it enough. You don’t need to be a die-hard Elvis fan to love it. Just see it on the biggest screen possible—IMAX if you can. Totally worth it.
