Published in 2016, Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance became a bestseller for its insights into impoverished white Americans, possibly explaining Trump's presidential victory.
Despite the success of the book, the film adaptation of Hillbilly Elegy directed by Ron Howard and starring Gabriel Basso, Glenn Close, and Amy Adams faced harsh criticism from reviewers.
The film largely mirrors Vance's memoir, depicting his challenging childhood with a caring but tough grandmother and a mother battling addiction, interspersed with his struggles and achievements as a Yale student.
