A Yale Law student drawn back to his Appalachian hometown reflects on his family's history and his own future. Directed by Ron Howard and starring Amy Adams, Glenn Close, Gabriel Bass, Haley Bennett, Freida Pinto and Bo Hopkins.

Calling this a bit controvercial is putting it lightly. The film was criticized, particularly for its screenplay and direction and received three nominations at the Golden Raspberry Awards: However, the performances of some of the cast received praise, with Close receiving supporting actress nominations at the Academy Awards, the Golden Globe Awards, and Screen Actors Guild Awards. Adams's performance was also recognized by the Screen Actors Guild, with a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress.

The critics hated it but the audiences loved it. Dare I say it was a political response? Yep and I just did. Award shows are all B.S. anyway. It's not what you know...it's who.

There are special features where the cast respond to the negative press and a monologue by Ben Shapiro regarding Hollywood's backlash.
