World News – CA – Hillbilly Elegy Review – IGN

Hillbilly Elegy feels that could have said more with less; less glamor, less prestige, less time leap, etc.. . At its core, there’s an illuminating story about how many generations it takes to actually be free of dehydrating, parasitic family members (who often « family » rule over your head), but the structure that flows too freely between two timelines makes it it seems like the film is afraid of landing somewhere for too long. The performances are strong, however, and that could be all the film takes to hit trophy time.
