The great thing about people is that we’re all different. It takes all kinds to make a world, and nowhere is that seen more often than with art. One man’s masterpiece is another’s misfire and this movie coming toNetflixat the start of next month is a prime example of that.
Where the Crawdads Singis a 2022 release based on a bestselling book that utterly enchanted audiences. OnRotten Tomatoes, it boasts an incredible 96% from audiences but then a staggeringly low 35% from critics. Did they watch the same movie? How can there be such a wide divide between the two groups? Of course, Netflix isn’t astreaming servicefor film critics but for regular people, which is why the movie’s arrival on May 5th is a big deal. It’s the perfect chance to make a decision for yourself.
Unable to read, with no formal education, a teenage Kya befriends local boy Tate (a hunky Taylor John Smith) who helps teach her the basics. Of course, spending so much time together with such an intense task, feelings soon develop. But then Tate has to go to college.
Left on her own Kya of course meets another boy, Chase (Harris Dickinson fromTriangle of Sadness). He’s popular, charming and almost certainly too good to be true. I won’t go into much more but if you’ve seenAnatomy of a Fallthere are some surprising similarities.
Aside from Daisy Edgar-Jones, the real star of the show here is the location. The North Carolina marshes on screen are actually located in New Orleans but are absolutely stunning nonetheless. As a bit of escapism on a Sunday night, It scratches a particular itch.
But should you watch it? Well, I can’t answer that for you. With such a high audience score and such a low critics score, the truth probably lies somewhere in between, best to decide for yourself. Oh but it does feature an original Taylor Swift song, so it is a must listen at least.
