Review of Hillbilly Elegy (2020) by Bluesky21 — 25 Dec 2020

Audience scores are nearly spot on in their rating. I think it’s debatable to be anywhere from a 7.5 through a 9.0. I tend to score it higher due to the excellent performances from the whole cast and how consistently strong the tone held throughout.

With a movie like this (that has frequent flashbacks) it can be extremely challenging to maintain the tone, but the editing team did a remarkable job in my opinion. The critic reviews though...waaaay off.

I read through more than a few and most of the criticisms aren’t valid at all. But then again, I don’t think critic opinions carry a fraction of the weight that they used too. In all, if you found the trailer interesting this is an excellent watch.
