Critic Reviews of "The King (2017)"
San Diego ReaderJuly 27, 2018The 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 comment and good music to make the effort worth seeing and chewing over.
Globe and MailJuly 13, 2018Provocative and at times unwieldy, The King is something of a stoned CNN Special Report on wheels.
Toronto StarJuly 12, 2018Filmmaker Eugene Jarecki does something rather unusual with The King, which becomes something extraordinary and insightful.
Boston GlobeJuly 12, 2018At 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 one separating love from hate.
Wall Street JournalJune 28, 2018With an insistence that borders almost comically on obsession, [director Eugene Jarecki] forces the singer's life into a larger theory of national decline-the American dream is dead, and Elvis is the emblem of its passing.
New YorkerJune 26, 2018...the movie does so in painfully simplistic terms, with encyclopedia-style snippets of history, authentically pained but insubstantial musings on "how we got here," and an odd reliance on the comments of celebrities who lack any Presley connection...
Awards CircuitOctober 11, 2018Elvis is clearly used as a metaphor by Jarecki. Undeniably progressive in his approach and his politics, the filmmaker still crafts a compelling portrait that reaches beyond simply ideology.
The Film YapOctober 10, 2018A compelling portrait of Elvis Presley that contemplates what he meant to America and its ever-evolving dream.
The Victoria AdvocateOctober 09, 2018Elvis Presley's 1963 Rolls-Royce serves as a metaphor for what 's wrong with this country in two-time Sundance Grand Jury winner Eugene Jarecki's new documentary.
Hot PressSeptember 05, 2018Jarecki's road-trip never reaches answers or a destination, but it's a curiously diverting ride.
The Arts DeskAugust 27, 2018The King is a visual essay - it proposes a thesis, then builds a convincing argument, bouncing between Presley's life and the state of the nation.
