Review of Where the Crawdads Sing (2022) by Avmon — 22 Oct 2022
In the past, it seems that there was a greater number of movies that followed the life of a character from beginning to end, in all its complexity.
Movies like Forest Gump, The Notebook, Benjamin Button, etc. And now Where the Crawdads sing. I hadn't realized how much I missed these movies, which you finish watching in the blink of an eye and still feel like you've spent hours, like you've lived a life with the character.
The beginning of the movie lays the foundation for the personality and character of the main character Kya. A girl who will grow up to be withdrawn from society, as if with an anxiety towards it, a girl who prefers the comfort of her isolated world. The actress, Daisy Edgar-Jones, is exceptional in this role and manages to create these impressions about the character in a constant way, regardless of the situation, whether she is sad or happy, the basic features of the character remain the same.
As for the crime in the story, as a small criticism, most of the characters had plausible reasons and I would have liked it if the film had paid more attention to them, it would have created more mystery and aroused more curiosity. I still believe that the eneding was the best way to complete the story.
I want to mention that I haven't read the book and I'm sorry now that I didn't start with it.
