If I’m even a little bit intrigued by a film after a first viewing, there’s a slight chance I’ll watch it again. If I’m a bit more than mildly intrigued, I’ll almost certainly watch it twice. And if I’m flat-out intrigued or turned on even, there’s a decent chance I’ll see it three times or more.
I was okay with Elvis (certainly the final third in Las Vegas portion), but honestly? Right now I don’t have the slightest interest in seeing it again. It was too annoying and exhausting. Okay, I might catch it again when it goes to streaming…
Variety‘s Owen Gleiberman has already seen it twice, and he’s written a fascinating side-eyed take (“Why Isn’t Elvis A Home Run?“). You don’t have to read it if you don’t want to. But I did.
