Elvis is a hit. It's also a really entertaining, well-made movie. Word of mouth has propelled this movie into a slow-earning behemoth. It's the second highest grossing movie director Baz Luhrmann has ever made (behind The Great Gatsby) and the 12th highest grossing movie of 2022.

"Audiences came to hear all their favorite Elvis tracks, but they stayed for the visually stunning direction, deep thematic darkness, and brilliant performances. Butler simply owned the role of Elvis. He nailed the puppy dog naivety of the legend while bringing such a somber human layer to the singer that will just break your heart. That’s only exacerbated by Hank’s disgustingly sinister performance as Elvis’ manager Colonel Tom Parker. It’s one of the best villain performances in recent memory and, by the time you get to the end of the film, both performances will make your jaw hit the floor."
