Where the Crawdads Sing - Olivia Newman - 2022

★★★. I liked it pretty well for what it was. The whole wild mountain woman raising her self in the wilderness was pretty interesting. Pretty cool chick this Kiya. Everyone treats her like a fucking hillbilly who doesn’t know shit, meanwhile she’s a published author who is able to live off the land and live authentically. Fuck those people. 

The trial shit that is the focus of the movie  is the most absurd waste of time for everyone I’ve ever seen. There’s basically no evidence and the prosecutor has this crazy story about how she could have killed some guy. If true, this level of planning that went into this murder would pretty much mean she was a real danger to society, just saying.

Also, I thought I was going to see basically like a Gillian Flynn story with sinister murder happening in the bayou. Ended up being way more like The Notebook
