Where the Crawdads Sing Ratings & Reviews
- neuroparadox2d agoThe mystery part is pretty ho-hum/predictable, but the overall story of Kya is fairly interesting. 🤷♂️
- Shamus2kJune 13, 2025Where the Crawdads Sing is a well-paced, emotionally resonant film with a cast of likable characters and a compelling, traditional story. I found it quite good—engaging, relatable, and beautifully told. Interestingly, the film follows a pattern I’ve noticed with many movies: critics on Rotten Tomatoes gave it low marks, while audience reviews were overwhelmingly positive. This divide often signals a movie that speaks to everyday viewers with timeless themes and grounded values. In many cases, critics seem more interested in political signaling than storytelling, making their negative reviews a surprisingly reliable sign that a movie is worth watching.
