Ron Howard's Hillbilly Elegy is a mess to say the least. I can tell there is meat to this story, not saying all true stories based on memoirs have meat but the story feels like it does. Unfortunately like most Ron Howard pictures, it falls flat. Everything falls flat, the acting, the plot, the look of the film, it feels like anyone could have directed this and done a better job. Honestly if this had been a low budget indie helmed by someone like Miranda July or Harmony Korine it would have been so much better, sure more surreal or fucked up, but with this story it could have worked.
