Priscilla's reviews
Media reviews
Time
Have you ever had an intense experience?fallen madly in love, say?only to look back years later and feel it had happened to a different person, a person who had walked through a dream, and survived it, to get to the self you were destined to become? That\'s the feeling Sofia Coppola captures in her quietly extraordinary 'Priscilla'.
Los Angeles Times
With piercing matter-of-factness, Coppola ends this movie, her strongest in more than a decade, at just the right moment.
The Guardian
Coppola\'s portrait is absorbing, especially in Priscilla\'s child phase, and if it is less distinctive in its final section, as Priscilla becomes more briskly disillusioned and realistic about what to expect, then that is to be expected.
La Razón
It is the nemesis of Baz Luhrmann's 'Elvis', also, of course, on a formal level: Coppola indulges his anachronisms in the soundtrack, abounds in decorative fetishism, portrays Graceland as a kingdom sunk in darkness and little else.
El Mundo
Coppola reconstructs Elvis' predatory character with a distant gesture. A soulless portrait, somewhere between denunciation and fascination.
El Periódico
The director is right not to resort to the tremendous, but she does not find alternative tools to generate dramatic intensity. The result is a recreation that lacks personality.
