Presley supposedly wanted Nixon to make him a secret agent to fight the drug culture of the era. Shannon plays Elvis Presley in this speculative film about a meeting Presley had with President Richard Nixon. Indiewire said of the performance that “Shannon projects a kind of taciturn machismo that never becomes the cliché it might have been.” Shannon plays an embittered southern fish-farmhand consumed with hate for his neglectful father. Shannon first worked with Nichols in his film debut. Shannon has a key role as Basinger’s boyfriend in the film. Oscar winner Kim Basinger plays Eminem’s mother who has an often-combustible relationship with her son. The film tells the story of a white rapper trying to break into the rap industry. This semi-autobiographical film features Eminem in a role quite similar to himself. Billy Crudup stars as a heroin addicted young man who lives a grim life trying to survive and get money to feed his drug habit. Shannon was among the ensemble of the uniformly excellent cast of this independent film. Shannon was singled out in many reviews for finally getting a chance to play a “normal” guy when so often he was cast as villains or off beat characters. She has trouble readjusting to life at home with her husband and two daughters.
This film was largely a vehicle for Linda Cardellini who plays a military veteran coming home after a year overseas. This film that deals with cults and a boy with supernatural powers received strong reviews but did not make much of an impact at the box office. Shannon has frequently collaborated with writer/director Jeff Nichols and many of their films will be on this list.
