Hillbilly Elegy Ratings & Reviews
- Alain GodetFebruary 11, 2026Just because I cannot put 0 stars. It's difficult to have Emile Zola's talent for social commentary. JD Vance clearly doesn't have it, and Ron Howard didn't help him... Not even worth the time I took to watch it: another reason JD is hated throughout the world…
