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.

Ron Howard is a director I love, so I come to expect better from him.
