From Here to the Great Unknown by Lisa Marie Presley, Riley Keough

3.5
This was well done if a bit too short (but I think its level of depth generally made sense for the story it was telling). I knew nothing about Lisa Marie Presley going into this, and am really only a casual Elvis enjoyer, so I learned a lot from this. The narration was well done, I loved that we got to hear from Lisa Marie herself, Julia Roberts was good as always, and Riley Keough brought a wonderful perspective on her mother to shed some lightness and grace to her story that she couldn’t see herself. I don’t leave this wowed necessarily, but I think it provided an insightful snapshot of her life, of growing up in the shadow of fame, and the impact of addiction and depression on generations of a family just trying their best.
