HillBilly Elegy (2020)

Already critically notorious, I was still impressed by how awful
and cringe-inducing this latest from the master of Oscar bait and
the worst half of trite-Spielberg, Ron Howard, was. Not so much
toe curling as shin snapping, Howard's worst ever manages to make
Cleetus from the Simpsons seem subtle and deep. Glenn Close will
likely win an Oscar but this soft-core poverty porn is the years
most misguided film, the Hallmark greeting card version of
Winter's Bone, with very little story and a central character who
is almost entirely unsympathetic. A front runner for worst film
of the year and taken all in all (including the intent of the
story arc versus what it actually achieves) - the years second
(Hard Kill not included as it isn't a real film) big fat zero out
of ten (after We Summon the Darkness).
