- David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
- Excerpt: Where The Crawdads Sing proves Daisy Edgar-Jones is a leading actress with her compelling performance. It’s a shame this adaptation is completely flat.
- [New] | Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice
- Excerpt: A coming-of-age story and murder mystery about a young naturalist living in the marshes who has to find out who she can truly trust.
- Travis Burgess @ The Sacred Wall
- Excerpt: Where The Crawdads Sing’ is less a film and more the bare bones of a template of a film
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Those who are fans of Delia Owens’ best seller, whose profile was raised by executive producer Reece Witherspoon via her book club, are likely to be pleased by this slavishly faithful adaptation…those who had some believability issues with the source material, as I did, will find the same issues here.
- Rob Daniel @ Electric Shadows
- Excerpt: Fine enough fare for those wanting an engrossing, polished love story.
- Nell Minow @ moviemom.com
- Excerpt: The cinematography by Polly Morgan is exquisite and the song by Taylor Swift is evocative and haunting. But viewed entirely as a film, the translation to the screen does not work, and those who do not already have a strong emotional commitment to the story are likely to come away finding the film superficial at best and morally bankrupt at worst.
- James Plath @ Family Home Theater
- Excerpt: There’s something warm and engaging about Where the Crawdads Sing that seems the cumulative result of all the beautiful scenery and filming, Kya’s genuinely positive and stoic personality in the face of adversity, and Newman’s sympathetic treatment of her and her plight.
