My Movie Review: The movie is a great sad movie that kept me interested through out with a general feeling of longing with acting that was amazing, the story was told almost to perfection! Hillbilly Elegy is actually good at first I don't like it I thought it will be boring but its not has more to offer than meets the eye so I'm shocked the critics doesn't like this said worst of the year No! This is a side of America I rarely get to see family in crisis as an Asian I'm blobbing I don't have that kind of set-up' I didn't bond with my grandparents cause most died when I was very young! The battle of drug addiction and poverty specially when in the family in this case the mom it's a tough one I can't imagine what the right thing to do' and anyone that makes it deserves praise:) Gabriel Basso is the actor to play J.D Vance from his body build to his humanity it's perfect he deserve so much recognition from his performance I wish him fame and his star in Hollywood will shine brighter and receives more acting project so we get to see another solid powerful act!
Critics Consensus: With the form of an awards-season hopeful but the soul of a bland melodrama, Hillbilly Elegy strands some very fine actors in the not-so-deep South. Adams and Close deserved better than this relentlessly gloomy, often trite, movie. We all did. Hillbilly Elegy is objectively terrible. Hillbilly Elegy is an Oscar-friendly narrative of personal triumph in the face of great hardship, a movie designed to end with an uplifting epigraph; it is also one of the most worst movies of the year. There's only a vague message about bootstraps and personal responsibility, and a whole lot of bad wigs. This family is in every town and this town is in every state. It's a slice of life and one man's story of finding himself as he reclaims his background, better understanding who he is and where he came from. Hillbilly Elegy is whiny and teary boy, it really should be better. We should expect more from all involved parties but Adams, in particular, is painfully bad in one of the worst "Oscar grabs gone wrong" in recent memory. A truly awful movie actually makes us sad, Hillbilly Elegy should be a eulogy for Howard's career!
