Hillbilly Elegy


 I don’t know why I decided that I wanted to watch this movie.  I previously never wanted to watch it.  I don’t know how accurately the movie portrayed the real life stories of JD Vance and his family members, but it was a good movie.  It’s too bad that somewhere along the line JD Vance lost his way.  He needs to disconnect himself from Donald Trump, and then maybe just maybe he can find his way again.
