“This is a story about Elvis’ relationship with Colonel Tom Parker [empresário do músico]. It’s a true story, and told in a brilliantly creative way that only Baz [Luhrmann, diretor]with his unique artistic way, could have delivered,” she wrote.
“Austin Butler, who plays Elvis, is exceptional,” she said. “In the middle of the movie, Jerry [Shcilling, ex-empresário de Elvis] and I looked at each other and said, ‘Wow!.’ Bravo to him! He knew he had a big mission, and he was very nervous about this role. I can imagine.”

In her text, Priscilla also praised the performance of Tom Hanks as colonel Tom ParkerElvis’ manager: “What a great character he was. There were two sides to the Colonel and we witnessed both. The story, as we all know, does not have a happy ending. But I think the film will make you understand Elvis’ journey better, through the lens of a director who put his heart and soul into it.”
