You'll never be able to see Baz Luhrmann's Elvis the same again.
Spaeny plays Priscilla across the 13 years the movie spans, but there’s no de-aging technology used here. Though the passage of time is suggested by some aesthetic changes in Priscilla’s style (largely supervised by the demanding Elvis himself), it’s made most clear through Spaeny’s incredibly modulated performance. Subtle shifts indicate the burgeoning of her agency — as in one late scene, when it feels like she’s finally breathing — but Spaeny also articulates just how stunted Priscilla was by Elvis’ insistence on infantilizing her. It’s a brilliant performance, one that deftly shapes the film around her and undoubtedly announces Spaeny as a rising star.
