Review of Hillbilly Elegy (2020) by Jzermeno — 24 Nov 2020

This is a very poignant depiction of middle America that is not usually portrayed on the big screen. At a time when there is so much division in this country, this film reminds us that the struggle to survive and thrive is something that we can all relate to.

This isn’t just JD Vance’s story. This is the story of so many Americans (in every class, culture or religion) who have had to endure the hardships of growing up in poor America. It’s a reality that is shared by so many.

Amy Adam’s breaks my heart with her portrayal of Bev. I love Mamaw. I never knew a woman like this in my life; but I wish I had. Glenn Close gives us an Oscar worthy performance.
