Hillbilly Elegy (2020 Ron Howard)

Written by Vanessa Taylor, from J.D. Vance's book, film contains such wise words as "You are where you come from, but every day you can choose who you become." Hm. Vance, played by Gabriel Basso (and Owen Asztalos when younger) has to put up with dysfunctional mother Amy Adams and tough but ultimately supportive grandmother Glenn Close. With Hayley Bennett (Rules Don't Apply, A Kind of Murder), Freida Pinto, Bo Hopkins, Keong Sim.

I confess to not being terribly interested. The film has nothing new or interesting to say. Didn't like the title either. Good performances, especially from the always great Adams and Close. Great makeup.
