There is no dought Elvis is a compelling watch, with all the glitz & glamor you will expect for a Presley Biopic,but it skews more toward an ode to Luhrmann's cinematic style than an ode to the king.

Luhrmann's particular work of visual excess & filmaking extravagance familar from 2013's The Great Gatsby & 2001's Moulin Rounge overpower some of the poignant & sad moments of Elvis life.

But if you can get past the Dizziness & help distraction of Luhrmann's more outlandish choces, there is no tought you love about the film.
