Critics Call Ron Howard’s ‘Hillbilly Elegy’ ‘Laughably Horrendous,’ ‘Worst Film of His Career’

So, that reviewer is a woketarded jackass angry at every straight white male for being born. I now will watch this, it must be good to trigger the fools this much.

I can’t help but wonder what this critic’s opinions might have been about a similar story revolving around people of any race other than white.

The absurdity of the movie is that it isn't about Hill Billies at all. The only character who lived in Appalachia at all was the Grand Mother who ran away from Appalachia at age 13 pregnant...

The movie takes place in Middletown Ohio and is focused on people who lived their whole lives in that city.

Based on the fact that it is based on a book that is shit it is a no go. It was pretty clear in the book that the guy was writing to cater to elitist idiots and not being honest... so basically it was fiction.

The woketarded narrative.

Have you see it or is this what you're taking from the trailer?

Yeah I was thinking that if this was about blacks in the ghetto they would be made to look sympathetic.

If I have to pretend to believe in lies to not be a bigot, then I'll proudly own up to being a bigot.

Poor Ron?

Look at his filmography. He does way more crap than quality.

He thought he could do a reverse of JD Vance and relive his Opie years after many decades spent among the Hollywood Elite.

That's an All Lives Matter kind of movie. Timing of the release is one of the most common complaints.

I don't know the mechanics of this board yet so I don't know how to obscure spoilers so read at your own peril.

From a technical perspective the movie is very competently made. As it is directed by Ron Howard that goes without saying. He has decades of experience. Also as this is a biopic you would think that Howard would do great as biopics and historical fiction is really what he does best. Holy shit was this a dud of a movie.

On the acting:

- The Lead Actor has all the on screen presence of a block of wood. It is mind boggling that Howard cast that actor for that role.
- Amy Adams was a too over the top too many times. She was just unbelievable.
- Glen Close was incredible.

The primary dramatic tension of the story is a Princeton Law Student jeopardizing a chance for a lucrative summer intern to deal with his mother's latest drug rehab problems. Which is a head scratcher. What are we supposed to care about there? That he might not get the internship or that his mothers bullshit is fucking him over...AGAIN. The whole movie is centered on his mother fucking over her life and throwing the lead characters life into turmoil because of her drug addiction.

Drug addiction is a terrible thing and drug addicts abuse and destroy everything they touch.

Are we really supposed to enjoy watching the lead victimize himself for his mothers bullshit..

And finally the title of the movie doesn't make any sense. It is called Hillbilly Elegy. The only Character who could be considered a hillbilly is the grandmother, played by Close. That character ran away from Appalachia at age 13 pregnant with the Amy Adams character.

The movie is not an ode to the virtues of being hillbilly at all. It is a movie about a dumb shit who allows his mother's bullshit to prevent him from getting to a job interview...
