The Blu-ray of 'Priscilla' offers a sumptuous 1080p transfer with an AVC encoded presentation in 1.85:1, capturing both the digital and filmic essence from Arri Alexa 35 cameras and 16mm footage. Despite occasional suboptimal shadow details, the vibrant colors and excellent detail deliver an evocative visual experience.

Priscilla's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track delivers a subtly immersive experience, skillfully utilizing recreated era-specific music and well-prioritized sound effects to enhance atmospheric depth. While not aggressive, it effectively activates surround channels, ensuring clear dialogue and engaging audio dynamics.

The Blu-ray extras for "Priscilla" offer a succinct yet insightful dive into the film's creation. "Brushed with Beauty" provides intriguing insights with key interviews, while "The Making of Priscilla" presents a unique, candid behind-the-scenes perspective led by young filmmaker Liv McNeil. The package also includes a theatrical trailer and digital copies, though the features are somewhat limited in scope.

Movie: 61

Priscilla, directed by Sofia Coppola, offers an introspective, subdued exploration of Priscilla Presley's life overshadowed by Elvis, highlighting strong performances and exquisite cinematography, though it remains rather clinical and detached in emotional depth, echoing its source memoir's restrained narrative style.
