J.D. Vance’s Hillbilly Elegy Is Worse than Just Oscar Bait Now
According to the memoir penned by the newly anointed U.S. Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance, titled “Hillbilly Elegy,” the movie adaptation has been one of the most disappointing cinematic releases over the last five years. Ron Howard helmed the production, which boasted a high-profile cast and received critical acclaim beforehand. However, both critics and audiences found it lacking in substance, despite earning two Oscar nominations – for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Glenn Close). Ultimately, the film came up empty-handed at the awards ceremony and was quickly forgotten.
