Outra família conflituosa e problemática com uma avó estranha e uma mãe drogada. E todos eles sofrem, choram ou estão zangados. Sem motivo que tornasse a sua história interessante numa multidão de outras semelhantes. Não aprendemos porque é que eles são assim, é sempre preguiçosamente explicado a dizer «a mãe teve uma vida difícil». E o cliché que é suposto ser o ponto aqui é que durante os flashbacks um dos miúdos consegue formar-se na Faculdade de Direito e pôr a sua vida em ordem. «Não devemos esquecer de onde vimos, mas nós é que decidimos quem vamos ser.» Muito original. A última meia hora com Glenn Close praticamente salva-o, mas tudo antes disso é um aborrecimento inútil e sem sentido. A capacidade de direção de Howard sente-se facilmente na abertura rápida e depois nos últimos minutos, mas de resto nada.

I was lured to watch Hillbilly Elegy mainly by the cast and the mixed reviews (Glenn Close being nominated both fo an Oscar and a Golden Raspberry is really weird). My favourites Amy Adams and Glenn Close did not disappoint me and gave very convincing and sober performances, as did Gabriel Basso/Owen Asztalos as Jadee. Story-wise, Ithe film left me with somewhat mixed feelings. On the one hand, it has strong moments (the funeral of the grandfather or the calculator confrontation), but on the other, I felt that the theme of the (real) life of a dysfunctional family experiencing an American nightmare rather than the American dream could have been grasped in a more compelling way. Moreover, at times it was very hard to sympathize with any of the characters. I must, however, commend the excellent music by David Fleming and Hans Zimmer with its distinctive local colour. Better three stars!

I think this is a perfectly beautiful film and that I've seen very few acting performances this year that would come close to that extra level performed here by Amy Adams and Glenn Close. Both are great, and although the rest of the cast is also good, Hillbilly Elegy is what it is above all thanks to the two of them. Believable, impressive, touching, truthful and with an important message for anyone whose heart they capture. Ron Howard looked on from the director's chair with the certainty of an experienced director who cares about the story he tells, and after some time Hans Zimmer provides another fine soundtrack.

I was a bit surprised to see Ron Howard's latest film sitting with such low ratings, but I decided to give Hillbilly Elegy a shot anyway. And wow, Amy Adams and Glenn Close absolutely deliver stunning performances. For Amy's character, it wasn’t just an elegy, but more like a whole legion of struggles. For me, it was a solid cinematic experience—a well-told family drama about a poor American household. And honestly, how many stories like this are out there in America? Quite a few, I’d imagine.

In the end this is classic people movie with a heart, but that was a shitload of crap he had to go through (based on a true story). Worth seeing. Amy Adams makes the most of her role as stoned mom and she steals the most memorable scenes of the movie. And Glen Close as gramma (who sets light to drunken gramps) steals all the rest of them. In Hillbilly Elegy, Ron Howard deals tried and tested cards with the confidence of a hard-bitten cardsharp and skillfully recounts this story about a white trash hero. Oscar nominations are in the bag. The soundtrack is also great, once again from the excellently minimalistic Zimmer.
