"I loved it. A great depiction of the continuing Elvis obsession that, even three decades after his departure, continues to get more creepy and darkly humorous. Mark my words, within a couple hundred years this will be a full-blown religion." - Richard Linklater
"America's greatest religion is the cult of personality. No matter what you think of Elvis, this terrific doc snares the imagination and begs the question: 'Was Elvis God?' This is not a campy piece, rather a penetrating look at how we revere the famous." - Eric Bogosian
