Hillbilly Elegy is a profound movie that touches us in may ways! It is heartfelt and engaging. This is the true to life story of J.D. Vance and his family. It tells us about the many challenges he and his family faced during their stay at Middletown, Ohio where his mother's parents moved to when they were young.
Along with the family relationship this story is also a narration of the socio-economic problems that were prevalent in those times. This is a heart-warming and inspiring film that shows that though our environment tells us about where we came from, we can decide what we want to become. The importance of that one person who believes in us and our worth is so important to each ones life. The story is emotionally charged and it is heart-breaking to see all the problems that are caused due to substance abuse and how it can take a toll on the entire family.
This movie is an adaptation of a book by the same name which is an international bestseller. It is a memoir of a family and culture in crisis. This is a true to life story of J.D. Vance and it made me curious enough to read the story and see the pictures of the real life family. They also introduce us to the real life family at the end credits of the movie. What can I say about the acting of all the characters? They were simply brilliant! I was surprised this movie has not won any accolades, as it is so well made. I am so glad I watched this one just after reading the synopsis. This is surely not to be missed.
