If you are a bigger fan of the genre, there might be more to enjoy, but for me, The King felt long and tonally confused. None of the performances are bad, but Timothée Chalamet does not stand out as much as he should in this central and classic role.

Film Inquiry
3 stars out of 4 -- THE KING has a restless, kaleidoscopic, take-a-snapshot-and-move-on energy. In many ways, it's a documentary about everything, it's a documentary about 'then' and it's a documentary about 'right now.'
RogerEbert.com
The American Dream is a conceit that’s woven into the fabric of the country....Eugene Jarecki uses the life of Elvis Presley as an allegory for the lifespan of America, and the death of that dream. -- Grade: A-
A.V. Club
In truth, the 140 minutes never seemed extended to me, since Michod avoids wasting time with plot trivialities and goes straight to the point...

Film Threat
Almost everything about The King works brilliantly, from the casting (not least Robert Pattinson as a deliciously detestable Dauphin) to the generally cracking script by Michôd and Edgerton.

Rating: B --
The kind of questionable interpretation of Shakespeare that would probably have the Bard scratching his head.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
The two elements -- America and Elvis -- come together in ticklish, surprising ways that expand and delight your perceptions.
