The film adaptation of “Hillbilly Elegy” seeks to highlight the importance of family, loyalty, and sacrifice while taking a realistic look at the struggles facing many working-class Americans, according to Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ron Howard.

Howard’s Netflix-produced adaptation of J.D. Vance’s bestselling memoir stars Amy Adams, Glenn Close and Gabriel Basso. It details Vance’s tumultuous upbringing in deep Appalachian Kentucky and the Rust Belt of Ohio, his unlikely escape from destructive behavioral cycles, and his efforts to grapple with his mother’s opioid addiction.

Rated R for language throughout, drug content, and some violence, “Hillbilly Elegy” tackles issues of white poverty, drug addiction, and domestic violence. But it’s also a bittersweet drama that examines the importance of family, indomitable strength, and triumph over adversity. More Here
