Review of The King (2017)

By Dorothy Woodend (313) for The Tyee (British Columbia) (313) on 07 Aug 2018

There isn't a whole lot there that we haven't already eaten and digested a few times over. It's far more interesting to look forward…

Review of The King (2017)

By James Kendrick (1,607) for Q Network Film Desk (1,607) on 04 Aug 2018

A state-of-the-union assessment by way of an Elvis Presley documentary…

Review of The King (2017)

By Frederic And Mary Ann Brussat (3,072) for Spirituality and Practice (3,072) on 01 Aug 2018

Documentary about the rise and decline of Elvis Presley as a metaphor for the rise and decline of America…

Review of The King (2017)

By Ken Eisner (445) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 01 Aug 2018

The new doc includes too many generic shots of aircraft carriers, skyscrapers, and other totems of power…

Review of The King (2017)

By Matthew Lickona (530) for San Diego Reader (713) on 26 Jul 2018

The insistence may inspire a furrowed brow here, a rolled eye there, and a shaken fist or knowing nod over yonder, but there's enough earnest…

Review of The King (2017)

By Rick Kisonak (485) for Seven Days (657) on 24 Jul 2018

It's safe, I think, to say few filmmakers are visionary enough to conceive of a project this ambitious, much less pull it off…

Review of The King (2017)

By Ray Pride (544) for Newcity (539) on 19 Jul 2018

A fitting film to have Errol Morris, Steven Soderbergh and Roseanne Cash as executive producers: a slippery discourse about music, meaning…

Review of The King (2017)

By Robert Denerstein (1,148) for Denerstein Unleashed (254) on 19 Jul 2018

The difference: Much of The King proves interesting and some [of] it, even salient…

Review of The King (2017)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 18 Jul 2018

A provocative argument, but even those disinclined to be persuaded by it can enjoy the mode through which Jarecki presents it…

Review of The King (2017)

By Dann Gire (642) for Chicago Daily Herald (649) on 18 Jul 2018

The King presents a provocative exploration of the nation's soul…

Review of The King (2017)

By Richard Whittaker (567) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 18 Jul 2018

Few directors have Jarecki's skill for pulling a massive stack of disparate themes - race, celebrity, power, wealth, drug addiction, poverty,…

Review of The King (2017)

By Christopher Llewellyn Reed (298) for Hammer to Nail (208) on 17 Jul 2018

It is to Jarecki's credit that he allows all to speak, making for a vibrant discussion in this…

Review of The King (2017)

By Al Alexander (533) for The Patriot Ledger (721) on 14 Jul 2018

The King, like its subject, is an incomplete work. What's here is interesting and, for the most part, entertaining…

Review of The King (2017)

By Prairie Miller (985) for WBAI Radio (118) on 14 Jul 2018

Or rather a tale of two cons…

Review of The King (2017)

By Brad Wheeler (426) for Globe and Mail (2,419) on 12 Jul 2018

Provocative and at times unwieldy, The King is something of a stoned CNN Special Report on wheels…

Review of The King (2017)

By Bruce Demara (410) for Toronto Star (3,601) on 11 Jul 2018

Filmmaker Eugene Jarecki does something rather unusual with The King, which becomes something extraordinary and insightful…

Review of The King (2017)

By Tricia Olszewski (442) for Washington City Paper (500) on 11 Jul 2018

No matter how hard he tries to connect the dots, however, the analogy remains as stretched as Elvis' late-career stage clothes…

A fascinating look at a fascinating icon…

Review of The King (2017)

By Mark Feeney (434) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 11 Jul 2018

At its best, The King is a fever dream of American glory and American weirdness - between which there can be an even thinner line than the…

Review of The King (2017)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for Blu-ray.com (2,093) on 10 Jul 2018
