The 10 Best Movies of 2022
TIME listed the The 10 Best Movies of 2022 Baz Luhrmann's 'ELVIS' comes in at No. 4. Top 3 beating 'ELVIS are:
1. The Fabelmans
2. Aftersun
3. Armageddon Time
About the movie Time wrote: "Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis is less a straightforward biopic of Elvis Presley than a sequined jumpsuit in movie form: impractical but flattering, and built to accommodate giant leaps of imagination. Austin Butler, with his regal cheekbones, his eyes as soft as a sigh of longing, conjures both the carnal majesty and the dreamy sadness of Elvis. This movie is nuts. But it’s also filled with love for a king we didn’t deserve."
