re: Hillbilly Elegy is one of the worst movies I've seen in a long, long time

I just watched this. I hadn’t read the book but I had read part of this thread and I actually liked it- possibly helped by having low expectations. I don’t think it was some cinematic masterpiece but I still found it a good watch even if it had some cheese to it. I didn’t really think they made the poor folks look stupid either- maybe a little trashy and hopeless but not just outright dumb.

And according to the pics at the end, they nailed Mamaw with Close.
