Warner Brosĭuring the French fest, Hanks avoided a question about his “ ridiculous” accent. Butler fully transformed into the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Shortly after the premiere, Hanks made sure Butler got much of the affection from the audience and directed a camera away from him to focus on “The Carrie Diaries” star. However, the musical biopic garnered a 12-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this week. It finds so little reason for Presley’s life to be the stuff of a Baz Luhrmann movie that the equation ultimately inverts itself, leaving us with an Elvis Presley movie about Baz Luhrmann. “The hyper-romantic energy of those films helped braid the present into the past in a way that made them both feel more alive,” he wrote. The critic also compares scenes in “Elvis” to Luhrmann’s other “sensory overload” and “swooningly electric moments” such as the fish tank sequence in his 1996 romance “Romeo + Juliet” and the wild party scene in 2013’s “The Great Gatsby.” Austin Butler (right) is playing Elvis Presley in the new Baz Luhrmann-directed biopic. ![]() “Luhrmann’s dizzying script (co-written by Sam Bromell, Jeremy Doner and Craig Pearce) frequently returns to the idea that Presley’s life was caught in the crossfire between two different Americas: One gyrating towards freedom, and the other snuffing it out,” he penned in his review.

The journalist dove right into “Elvis” - out June 24 - writing that the “159-minute eyesore” is more about Hanks’ Colonel Tom Parker, the longtime manager of the “Love Me Tender” star, and less about Butler’s Elvis. IndieWire writer David Ehrlich published his review of the Austin Butler and Tom Hanks-led film Wednesday and trash-talked the flick, calling it a “ nightmare” as well as “deliriously awful.” While some critics are praising the upcoming Baz Luhrmann drama - Variety called it “fizzy, delirious, impishly energized, compulsively watchable” - reviews have been mixed with one critic all shook up.
