Popcorn Culture - Review: Hillbilly Elegy

Directed by Ron Howard, Hillbilly Elegy explores the idea of the American dream by looking at three generations of a lower-income family in Ohio; the story centres around a Yale law student (played by Gabriel Basso) who is forced to return to his family after a family emergency. Based on a memoir by J.D. Vance, the movie also stars Glenn Close, Amy Adams, Haley Bennett, and Freida Pinto. We review the film and discuss whether it works in its aim to capture the American heartland.
