Hillbilly, una elegía rural

I enjoyed the movie very much. As a Black American, I know the struggles of my culture, so to see the trials and tribulations of another culture is eye opening.

Ron Howard is an A-list Director and doesn't produce anything that is subpar. The critic reviews and low ratings for this movie are puzzling. Yet I'm seen high ratings for movies to me that weren't so great.

The movie is good, don't believe the critics.

Like other reviewers here, I'm puzzled as to why this film received such poor or lukewarm reception in the press. Glenn Close is superb as Mamaw. Those who think she is somehow an exaggerated caricature clearly don't have much first-hand knowledge of this segment of our population. I never knew Mamaw but I certainly knew plenty of people like her, and Close's portrayal is spot-on. Don't be put off by the bad reviews. This is a powerful and moving film.

Excellent, magnificent, the performances of Glenn Close (10) and Amy Adams (9).

Eeww a liberal. Not a commie though. Definitely worth watching with a good message. Depressing and yet inspiring. Can't help but root for the guy. Probably won many votes.

Though if Mawmaw was running for office, I'd vote for her.

I wonder how much is accurate and how much Hollywood altered with artistic liberty. The self deprecation seemed earnest. I think most people would support someone who is real, flawed and honest rather than some plastic, narcissistic phony politico. Many Presidents come from wealthy arrogant families and don't understand or care about us regular folk.

All the actors were great. Bravo. Wonder why this didn't receive more attention before the nomination.

Don't know why there are such low scores and reviews, it was a very engaging movie, and the acting all round was top notch.
