I Wanna Dance with Somebody

[Mummieslncorporated]

Just back from watching this.

I guess you can't really show a life in two and a half hours, but I feel like it was a fairly superficial look at her life. The film Elvis, imo, did a better job of getting to the heart of the person.

I feel like they used the film more to showcase the talent that she had, rather than the demons that led to her drug use - they were there, don't get me wrong, but in a 'this happened and this happened' way, not in a 'this is how the things going on in her life affected her' kind of way.

I think the casting was really good, and it was interesting to see how the person she was portrayed as being was different to the woman she was. But it felt a little too 'nice' - like it was too soon to really explore the darker side of her life in any depth.

Worth a watch though, even if you aren't a fan (I'm not), but would maybe give it 6/10.

I saw it the other day, it was OK I suppose, but more a watch on a Sunday afternoon when there's nothing else on film.

I saw this today and disagree with both of you. I loved the film. I would highly recommend it and l would watch it again.

Agree with the OP I saw it, enjoyed it but did think it just went from one song to another. One minute she was fine and the next she was off to rehab with very little character development on what took her on that journey

Stanley Tucci was fabulous but then he always is imo

Loved it hated elvis

loved it. Thought the casting was fantastic. I thought it was great that they really showcased her voice. I’d forgotten how amazing she was

Is it any different from the film a few years back?
