EPiC makes a case for the singer as, among other things, a Vegas integrationist, insisting that his Black backup singers be included onstage or he wouldn't perform. But the music is the thing here...

While it is unlikely to tell you much you don’t already know, this is a must-see for Presley fans and a boisterously enjoyable watch even for Elvis agnostics.

It works well as a documentary, and I can’t deny that Presley gave 110 percent to his audience at every show. That in itself is impressive. (If you’re a fan, add an extra star to my rating.)

EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert is a fine concert film in which Luhrmann goes beyond a standard approach to give you more than just one of the best entertainers of all time performing on stage.
