Lisa Marie Presley and her daughter Riley Keough came together for one final on-screen chat to discuss their father and grandfather Elvis Presley.
The mother-daughter duo reflected on how "emotional" it had been to watch Baz Luhrmann's biopic Elvis, with 33-year-old Riley describing it as an "exceptional film".
The movie, which stars Austin Butler as the superstar singer, documents Elvis' rise to superstardom and explores his turbulent relationship with manager Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks).
In an interview with Good Morning America, Lisa Marie and Riley revealed they had sat down to watch the film together.
"It was so emotional," Lisa Marie told the presenters.

"It just brings up such generational trauma, in a good way. Riley five minutes in was already like gone, like, 'I'm done.'

Riley added: "It was really intense. As a film, it's just an exceptional film."
The film won Austin, 31, a Golden Globe Award on Tuesday night and he used his acceptance speech to say he would always love Lisa Marie and her mother Priscilla Presley.
Priscilla and her daughter had grown close to the 31-year-old actor as he made the hit film Elvis. They would often share stories about the superstar singer and opened up to Austin about what Elvis had been like.
