Review of Where the Crawdads Sing (2022) by Brianna Zigler for The Playlist — 12 Jul 2022
There is minimal tension in spite of clear stakes, but because we never get closer to Kya than arm’s length, it never seems like she’s in any real danger. We are meant to side with her and empathize with her as the abused, underdog outsider in that fact of character alone.
Nothing appears to simmer below the surface, and everything rings hollow because of it.
