Hillbilly Elegy (out Nov 12) is based on a true story and follows a 20-something-year-old trying to get his foot in the door at a prestigious law firm while also escaping his troubled upbringing. The performances from Amy Adams and Glenn Close are "flashy" but it feels like we never really get to the heart of any characters. Grade: B-.
