The early reviews are already in for Australian filmmaker Luhrmann’s much-anticipated Elvis Presley biopic – and they’re quite mixed.

Luhrmann’s always been a divisive filmmaker, and it seems like his latest offering is no different – with IndieWire’s David Ehrlich going as far as to call his foray into music biopics “deliriously awful”.

However, the film did receive a 12-minute standing ovation after its Cannes Film Festival premiere earlier this month.
