Is It Any Good? - I've seen most of the movies that'll dominate awards season, and I've gotta say this movie simply wasn't that great. It was boring, pointless and depressing. Needless to say, it won a boatload of Golden Globes and will probably dominate the Oscars too. As much as I loved the unapologetic blackness of Judas & The Black Messiah and One Night In Miami, I totally understand why those who vote on such things would much rather reward a milquetoast profile on Middle America. I'm frankly shocked Hillbilly Elegy didn't get more nominations. I'm shocked I made it through this horribly boring and repetitive movie.
Should You See It? - So yeah, unless you wanna watch a clinically depressed woman in a white work van drive around the Dakotas for 2 hours, hard pass on this one.
What's The Rating? - 3 stars out of 5
