I watched this last night using my amazon prime membership and streaming capabilities.
I really enjoyed it. Lots of humorous eccentricities and great acting.
Ya, Michael Shannon as Elvis seemed odd at first, but he overcame his lack of 'prettyness' with acting chops, and the best mimic in the acting world other than Meryl Streep, Kevin Spacey nails Nixon to a tee.
This may be a fantasy based upon true events, I'm not sure, but if it happened the way it did in this movie, it wouldn't surprise me.
Two of the more interesting characters in my lifetime getting together because of a whim of The King.
This is a comedy because of its absurdity, and of course, the irony of their lives after the meeting.
There is some background music of the era, not featuring any of the Elvis material which is nice too.
Elvis in this movie, and Nixon too, for that matter, was misunderstood and trapped by the circumstance of his success, or should I say, "success"?
