Legends

About This Movie

Legends (1991) is this quirky little documentary that really digs into the lives of three Las Vegas impersonators. You've got your Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, and Judy Garland, each with their own take on what it means to inhabit these larger-than-life personas. The tone is an interesting mix of playful mockery and genuine empathy; it’s like the film can’t decide whether to laugh with them or at them, which adds a layer of complexity. The pacing is pretty brisk, so it keeps you engaged without dragging. The performances themselves are kind of all over the place, but that’s part of the charm, right? It feels like a snapshot of a moment in Vegas culture that’s both kitschy and oddly heartfelt. Definitely a unique glimpse into the world of tribute artists.
