    This was one of the first things I watched with my now wife. Right after the lockdowns started. I too went in to it completely blind.

    I rolled my eyes all the way through the movie. It was such obvious award bait, I had predicted how the entire plot would play out, beat for beat after about 10 minutes. It was the last time Netflix was allowed to suggest me a movie.

    If they’d have included the part where he questions his sexuality and fucks a sofa it might have been better.

      If you haven’t you should listen to the episode of “If books could kill” about Hillbilly Elegy, it’s very enlightening about the kind of person Vance is.
