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.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Best app ever!
RunPee is the only app we use before movies and afterward. not only does RunPee tell you when it’s a good time to leave the theater, kids these days ask if there’s anything during/after the credits, and RunPee lets parents know when there might be some thing that a kid might miss!
RunPee has tidbits, ratings, leave the theater times, and lengths. This is THE VITAL APP for watching any movie!
We used it when my wife was pregnant, and we have recommended it to every pregnant gal we know! How else can you enjoy a movie when you have to go out so often?!

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.

I want that shirt!
After watching this, it struck me that I think Elvis would have absolutely loved Prince. I know it may sound odd, but Elvis was one of the most soulful white singers of all time and they were both always dressed up to the nines in unique outfits. I mean seriously, how many guys do you know who can pull off a cape?
LOL, very good observation. I wouldn’t disagree.
