Did not read the book yet but watched interviews with Vance discussing it. Decided to watch the movie and found the story very compelling. Amy Adams and Glenn Close performances were solid.

John Nolte's thoughtful review of the movie
It's on Breitbart and IMO is worth skipping over the ads for the content.
Having read his review, I will reread the book.

I haven't read his book yet, but Vance is coming off in interviews like a total idiot. Someone posted a summary of an excerpt from his Carlson interview in another thread, so I looked up more. Comes off as defensive, reveals he doesn't know anything about movies or adaptations while giving opinions that suggests he does, and he doesn't seem to care (at least in what I saw) that the movie appparently defangs a lot of the meat of his book in favor of screaming.
