Where the Crawdads Sing

Such is the kind of story where you know that everything is as it should be. The fateful story of the main character living somewhere in the middle of the swamps is imbued with a lifelong trauma, from which the plot itself unfolds. By the way, a very nicely told story. The historical setting of North Carolina was very beautifully portrayed, and watching the swamps was truly an experience. Generally, I like stories of outcasts. Stories of people whom no one likes for some actually unknown reason (often just because they are different from the surrounding society), but reality is often completely different. Where the crawdads sing is definitely worth watching. One of the most interesting filmed American dramas of recent years. (05/23/2023)

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. (02/01/2023)

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. (10/02/2022)
