Elvis and Anabelle is an American romantic drama film written and directed by Will Geiger.

It stars Blake Lively,[1] Max Minghella, Joe Mantegna, Mary Steenburgen, and Keith Carradine.

Teen Elvis Moreau cares for his father Charlie, who has been mentally handicapped for years, and operates their funeral home.

Nearby, pageant girl Anabelle Leigh lives with her mother Geneva and alcoholic stepfather Jimmy.

Geneva started her in beauty pageants very young, hoping for financial freedom from men.

A gust of wind bursts open the window, as he shuts it, Anabelle suddenly gasps awake.

She is returned home and is very changed, no longer with bulimia nor interested in pageants, but Geneva pressures her to continue.

Anabelle decides to visit a far-off friend, so Elvis drives her after Charlie convinces him.

Finding Anabelle's clothes and the photo of Elvis kissing her in the mortuary trash, she calls the police.

Just before, a gust of wind blows the windows open, showing him Anabelle's miraculous sunflower field.

Nudging a running TV towards her bath, right before she can electrocute herself, she sees Elvis painting "I Love You Anabelle" on his house.

A reviewer writing for Movieline praised the performances of Lively and Minghella, and called the film "a dark and dreamy slice of Southern gothic romance, having all the hallmarks of a cult film in the making, destined for Gen-Z status.
