Review of Where the Crawdads Sing (2022) by Fuad_Rmnm — 15 Sep 2022

Emotionally Unexpected & Very Sentimental!

This movie is based on a novel (such as the movie title) that I didn't read. I just want to see this movie in the cinema without watching any trailer/spoiler to prevent any expectations. AND my impressions, this is a very satisfying movie!

The main plot is about a girl who lives alone in the marsh after family issues. Slowly, everyone left her. She became an urban myth coz her isolated house. The rest of the plot explains her struggle to live as a loner in her marsh in the isolated place, where the crawdads sing such as the movie title.

The best emotion is perfectly sentimental! The whole narrations are well-developed & delivered to the audience to give heart-touchin' emotions. Personally, I can relate to the story of isolation, struggles, famz issues, and as a loner. Besides, acting performance & movie set add more sentimental value. The actors & actresses are also greatly performed. Their chemistry is really great! Movie duration is suitable, not too long nor too short. Overall, this movie really gives the audience strong emotions, especially with an unexpected plot, sorry no spoilers HAHA.

Personally, this movie's main cons are music. I thought if “Carolina” by Taylor Swift was placed not at the end of the movie, it could make a greater difference. Another con is I felt there was something that missin' or could be added to make this movie perfect. But I don't really know what that is. However, I'll confidently say, this is the most sentimental movie for 2022. It really gives the audience strong emotions and sentiments.
