How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A visceral, theatrical retelling of Elvis's rise to stardom that explores the parasitic relationship between artist and manager, filtered through the flamboyant, expressionist vision of Baz Luhrmann. It's less a straightforward biography than a fever dream about the cost of genius.

Jonathan Redmond and matt villa should never edit a film ever again.
im not suprised that the latter edited eden aswell which just like half of this film is just standardly edited and in such a boring way....i mean at least some of the editing choices here are funny for how bad they are.

austin butler and the costumes are the saving grace of this film.
its just that years shitty oscar nominated biopic and thats it.
nothing about it directed that well and like you can't do allot with musical biopics but surely you can make something good right?
