Some of his films are better than others and some are downright fantastic, but how do they compare to one another? Lindsay Ratliff Supported J.D. Vance After Hillbilly Elegy’s Release Lindsay Feels Protective Over Her Younger Brother Despite the negative critiques about his Appalachian depictions, Lindsay stood by her brother. In a 2020 Dayton Daily News article following the premiere, Lindsay is quoted as saying, "JD has a part of my soul that nobody will ever have and I’ll protect him until the day I die. Whenever things were falling apart, my first thought was always him.
Although the two siblings had a troubled upbringing, as depicted in the film, they grew very close, often relying on each other for support. Though JD’s life has become much more public over the years, Lindsay still manages to keep a relatively low profile. Little public information is available about her and her family. No matter how audiences perceive the story or its lasting effects on Appalachia, Hillbilly Elegy remains the autobiographical truth of Lindsay and JD Vance’s family struggles.
