I’ve watched Hillbilly Elegy a few times now—once with my family. A lot of the reviews I’ve read from professional film critics have blended together and highlighted many of the same scenes. While I think the pivotal, climatic scenes should be analyzed the most, I’m going to examine some lesser talked about scenes and hopefully offer something new to the conversation. From what I’ve gathered from reading the memoir and talking to Molly Hughes, the production designer, the details of the family are mostly accurate in the film. The depiction of the characters has been criticized for being too stereotypical, but it also seems to be an authentic portrayal of who they were/are. While some may try to use his family to make abstractions about the region, I thought that the backdrop and background characters spoke more to how Vance and Howard viewed the region.
