LOS ANGELES - Amy Adams and Glenn Close star in Hillbilly Elegy, a drama about a rural white working-class family living in the dirt-poor Appalachia region of the United States.
It is based on a controversial book many believe explains why poor white Americans voted for President Donald Trump in 2016.
