Review of Hillbilly Elegy (2020) by Carldamnit — 24 Nov 2020
El·e·gy noun 1. a poem of serious reflection, typically a lament for the dead. This does feel like that to me, less about being a slice of life and more about presenting universal themes that you can watch and let your mind wander about.
Best Amy Adams performance ever in my opinion. Of course, you can't forget it's her, that's how the whole star system works. If you want to watch a documentary, watch that. This is a Ron Howard movie through and through.
It's not exploitative where it could have been. If I could change anything about this movie, it would be all the scenes Amy Adams isn't in. She's that great.
