ave you ever had an intense experience—fallen madly in love, say—only to look back years later and feel it had happened to a different person, a person who had walked through a dream, and survived it, to get to the self you were destined to become? That’s the feeling Sofia Coppola captures in her quietly extraordinary which is adapted from the story told by Priscilla Presley in her candid and moving 1985 memoir Maybe we all have to survive our teenage dreams; the things we want at age 14 are rarely the best for the long term, and luckily, most of us don’t get them. But the teenage Priscilla Presley got what she yearned for. invites us to walk side by side with her, but not so we can ultimately be punished by the fallacy of her dream; rather, this is a story about deep, cavern-like loneliness, and how one person’s responding to the loneliness of another can be both an adventure and a destiny. So much this is the story of one who refused to wait.
