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. (Sony Pictures)

It could have been a much better film if it didn't look like a travel agent's catalogue full of beautiful corners and clean-cut gorgeous people. In short, if it had an atmosphere like True Detective, In the Electric Mist or Just Cause. But in this rendition, the story, which was interesting and not hindered by the sugary romance, was hardly believable at all.

Where the Crawdads Sing captivates the viewer firstly with its beautiful scenery of vast swamps and secondly with its story, although it felt like a romance novel at times. Alongside the sharp David Strathairn and the sleazy Harris Dickinson, I was drawn to the hitherto unknown Daisy Edgar-Jones, who was the perfect embodiment of wild innocence (or innocent wildness). In addition to the crime and love story plots, I was intrigued by the nature illustration line (I immediately thought of the documentary Birds of America). In the end, the film may seem like an over-sweetened fairy tale, but even such stories can appeal to me.
