Review of Where the Crawdads Sing (2022) by Adamtaylor792 — 16 Jul 2022
The flashback sequences take too long to get through while adding very little to the story. The third act reveal about who did or did not commit the murder at the center of the case make zero sense and the movie makes no attempt to rectify this for viewers.
The screenplay is lazy, exemplified by the fact that the police search a house based on a legal doctrine that would not be established for two years which a cursory Google search would have fixed. All of that is not to mention that this is one of the most racist movies in recent history, not just in the subtext but overtly multiple times over.
