The memoir documents her relationship and partnership with Presley, which lasted years, exploring complex topics such as their age difference and some of the difficulties in marrying one of the most famous men in the world. The trailer packs plenty of that, showcasing some impressive performances from its cast, including Elordi’s terrific impression of Elvis and his iconic accent.
"It’s very difficult to sit and watch a film about you, about your life, about your love," said Priscilla following the film’s premiere, per Variety. She appeared visibly emotional and confirmed she loved it, praising Coppola for capturing her experience.
