20 Awesome Movies You Didn't Know Were Still Coming In 2020

8. Hillbilly Elegy

The Midnight Sky George Clooney
Sony Pictures Classics

Ron Howard's latest bid for awards glory is an adaptation of J. D. Vance's 2016 memoir, focused on Vance and his "eccentric" Kentucky family as they attempt to achieve the American Dream.

But almost all the attention for Hillbilly Elegy will be rightly directed towards Glenn Close, who is likely to end up with her eighth Oscar nomination for playing the family's surly matriarch, Mamaw.

Close co-stars with Amy Adams, Haley Bennett, and Freida Pinto in a drama about family history, politics, and American values. A timely release around the time of the American presidential election, then.

Hillbilly Elegy is releasing on Netflix in November.
