The feature film version of Hillbilly Elegy — the Ron Howard-directed movie based on JD Vance’s memoir of the same name — has skyrocketed in popularity on Netflix, being featured on the app’s landing page and immediately drawing viewer attention and derision.

No shortage of Netflix users were thrilled to see Vance’s real-life portrayed hardships coming just hours after he rose to broad national prominence after former President Donald Trump chose him to be his 2024 running mate, as Breitbart News reported.

Vance published Hillbilly Elegy — which vividly recounts his impoverished upbringing in the Rust Belt — in 2016.

It details a life that took in service in the U.S. Marine Corps and duty in the Iraq War before returning to the U.S. Vance then went on to graduate from Ohio State University before earning his law degree from Yale Law School.
