I can’t describe how or why I felt so fully immersed in the emotions of this movie. The overwhelming storytelling masterfully intertwines themes of love, resilience, and human complexity, keeping you captivated from start to finish. Its emotional depth is unparalleled, leaving a lasting impact that resonates profoundly. Every element, from the performances to the subtle use of music, feels perfectly tailored on the movie.

In my personal opinion, I found this film to be truly remarkable. While I believe there were moments where it could have been improved, particularly in terms of the actress's performance, overall, I was pleasantly surprised by how well the movie "Where the Crawdads Sing" was executed. Some scenes may have not been as impactful on the big screen as I had hoped, but I must commend Reese Witherspoon for her excellent work as a producer. Despite the film's commercial success, it was unfortunate that it did not receive any recognition in awards categories. I strongly believe that this movie deserved more accolades and it has certainly made me more aware of other deserving films that may go unnoticed. I wholeheartedly recommend giving this movie a chance. The film's development and script were truly impressive. While there were minor flaws in the world-building and storyline, overall, it achieved what it set out to do. I urge anyone to watch this movie as it offers a unique and engaging experience.

**_The challenges of growing up (alone) in the shoreline swamps of the Carolinas_** In the 60s, a girl (Daisy Edgar-Jones) comes-of-age in coastal North Carolina, where she’s an outcast known as “the marsh girl.” When a local hotshot is found dead (Harris Dickinson), the community thinks she’s the culprit. Taylor John Smith plays a male friend and David Strathairn her lawyer. Based on the 2018 novel by Delia Owens, “Where the Crawdads Sing” (2022) is a meshing of “Cross Creek” (1983) with backwoods crime mystery, such as "Undertow" (2004), "Winter's Bone" (2010) and "Mud" (2012). It’s reminiscent of Steve Gerber’s Man-Thing comics of the 70s, just with the swamp monster being replaced by human monsters. The coastal swamp cinematography is awesome, but this wasn’t shot within 850 miles of the shores of North Carolina. It was filmed in Houma and New Orleans, Louisiana The movie runs 2 hours, 5 minutes. GRADE: B+/A-

**While well done and well told, it is not a movie I would return to.** Where the Crawdads Sing is a lingering sorrowful tale of an abandoned young woman finding her purpose and strength in the isolation of nature. The story mourns the abuses and judgments the protagonist faces as nearly every relationship in her life betrays her. Yet, she remains hopeful, kind, and gentle after all that. The movie is a mixture of biography, courtroom drama, and murder mystery, and while that might sound full and active, Where the Crawdads Sing is an unhurried creeping story. Typically, slow-moving films bore me, but this one was definitely engaging. The main character is steadfast and strong even after all she had endured making the story more compelling and interesting. The mystery part of the movie almost hides in the background until the film's final moments, focusing on Kya's journey rather than devolving into a mediocre whodunit. While I was taken along on an intriguing sojourn with Where the Crawdads Sing, it was ultimately a very somber tale moving at a very melancholy pace.

MORE SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS @ https://www.msbreviews.com/ "Where the Crawdads Sing is one of the biggest surprises of the year - may the extraordinary box office result serve as proof. A survival story - on many levels - that tackles heavy trauma, the power of nature, prejudice, hypocrisy, and many other topics in a thematically rich screenplay. Daisy Edgar-Jones ends her breakthrough year with yet another complex performance that convinces viewers to invest in the equally intricate, fully-developed protagonist over a runtime slightly affected by a short period during the second act where it loses some momentum. A tad too melodramatic for my taste, and the divisive revelation of the final minutes will certainly generate much discourse - personally, it almost ruins the whole work. Still, I recommend it!"
