What makes this film worth watching?
4 members like this review
I loved The Last Elvis. A heartfelt perspective on the life of a struggling Elvis impersonator who identifies very strongly with the object of his artistic mimicry and focus, this film digs deep into the heart and humanity of anyone keeping a balancing act between practical demands of daily life and pursuit of a dream or vision. --
With a minimum of clever story devices and camera trickery (but some solidly enjoyable cinematic creativity), The Last Elvis tells a full, rich, sad story that is woven with hope, sincere family struggles, and love. --
John McInery does an admirable job, not only as a fine Elvis impersonator, but with his clear understanding of this great story's nuances. Director/co-writer Armando Bo shows promise and I'll be watching out for his future films. Excellent cast.
