Synopsis
From the best-selling novel comes a captivating mystery. Where the Crawdads Sing tells the story of Kya, an abandoned girl who raised herself to adulthood in the dangerous marshlands of North Carolina. For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” haunted Barkley Cove, isolating the sharp and resilient Kya from her community. Drawn to two young men from town, Kya opens herself to a new and startling world; but when one of them is found dead, she is immediately cast by the community as the main suspect. As the case unfolds, the verdict as to what actually happened becomes increasingly unclear, threatening to reveal the many secrets that lay within the marsh.

This is a small and stupid detail but if she grew up completely isolated in the marsh away from society why does she have curtain bangs

It was okay. I’m so very disappointed in the ending I’m actually annoyed😂 The book’s ending was a million times better. The ending to this movie literally doesn’t compare because it lacked detail and wow factor. This move gets a 5/10 for me. Read the book instead.
Ira KJ likedWhere the Crawdads SingI LOVED IT!!! I personally didn't read the book yet so i cannot make that comparison as of now but the cinematics were incredible!!!! The story itself is bloody awesome, a true mystery and the actors were amazing. A type of movie i immediately wanted to rewatch after it ended.
Sanna dislikedWhere the Crawdads Sing126 minutes I’d rather spend counting the dust on my fridge
- Angie Lankford likedWhere the Crawdads Sing
Sweet movie that felt like “The Notebook” had a baby with a John Grisham novel. Good cast and story. Definitely worth the watch!
amyy likedWhere the Crawdads Singpretty slow throughout but the ENDING.
Sabrina Bondi likedWhere the Crawdads SingAn old-school murder mystery primarily told as a courtroom drama, the paperback adaptation entertains from start to finish. The scripting, the dialogue, the scenery choices, the score, has it all of the pieces to make you feel it’s great pacing and progression.

some of the scenery is very pretty but unfortunately i prefer the book 😞🤓
Trace lackey lovedWhere the Crawdads SingI loved this movie. Honestly had no expectations for this movie but it was a pleasant surprise. The flow of the whole movie was great. The character development was really good. Kinda slow, but they wrapped up the movie quite nicely and it was a surprising twist at the end!
Breeze likedWhere the Crawdads SingI thought the 2 guys were the same person so I’m very confused what even is a crawfad like can they stop having sex for 5 seconds this is too much

It was better than Thor love and thunder
BLBEVERLY LAMBERTThe movie followed the book closely without sacrificing any of the key elements. Very well acted and beautiful setting. I also appreciated no gore or foul language.
HWHunter WelchGreat movie super good story could use a little less sex scenes though.

Breathtakingly beautiful in every way.
DWDana WhalenI would say the CLOSEST book to movie adaptation I've ever seen and I'm happy for it.
BRBryan RodriguezVery underrated movie you just need to watch!

If you didn't read the book like I didn't, then the ending will be great. Kept me guessing. Good movie.
ASAlec SajdakCorny and boring AF

Does the fact the film largely ignores the book’s treatise on nature and virtue absolve it of all connections to Owens’s real-life controversies? It certainly doesn’t, on an artistic level, improve what’s already contained on the page. Newman’s vision of rural South Carolina is scrubbed so clean you might as well call it #swampcore – the Spanish moss looks bright and pristine, the flower petals on the water almost consciously arranged.

Director Olivia Newman (First Match) bathes the story in so many broad, creaky tropes and odd tonal shifts that nothing ever feels real for a moment.

Instead of a complicated protagonist at the centre of an atmospheric thriller Edgar-Jones seems trapped in an ill-advised antebellum-themed Taylor Swift music video, exacerbated further by Swift’s dulcet tones heard over the end credits.
