Based on the book of the same name by J.D. Vance; Hillbilly Elegy is a new drama starring Amy Adams, Haley Bennett, Gabriel Basso and Glenn Close.
Directed by Ron Howard; it’s the story of a Yale law student (Brasso) who’s drawn back to his hometown where he grapples with family history, Appalachian values and the American dream.
Glenn Close and Amy Adams, that’s really all I needed to know before saying yes to watching this. And maybe Adams will finally win an Academy Award, because this here looks like a truly brilliant performance.
Freida Pinto, Sunny Mabrey, Bo Hopkins, Dylan Gage, David Atkinson, Marcella Lentz-Pope, Stephen Kunken, Chase Anderson, William Mark McCullough, Jason Davis and Tierney Smith also star.
Hillbilly Elegy Release Dates: November 24th, 2020 (US & UK)…

The Movie My Life 
Wow! This looks like it may be one of Netflix’s best films yet!
I agree. It’s certainly up there and the film making team is truly fantastic. 🥳
If her and/or Close don’t finally win soon I may just give up on the Oscars 🙂
Nice to see Haley Bennett too. I think Swallow’s gotten pretty overlooked so hopefully she gets some love here.
Yes, it should have been Adams’s time already. I haven’t double checked but didn’t Close finally win for The Wife?
So true about Swallow. I hope her time comes soon too.
Nope. Off the top of my head I can’t even remember who beat her? I think that was the year Colman won!
You’re absolutely right. 🤦♀️🤓I guess the video I saw of her acceptance speech was for her Golden Globe win.
I hope one of the ladies win something! 🤞🤞
