Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Where the Crawdads Sing is a 2022 American mystery drama film based on the 2018 novel by Delia Owens. The film follows Kya, an abandoned yet defiant girl, who raises herself to adulthood in a North Carolina marshland, becoming a naturalist in the process. When the town's hotshot is found dead, she is the prime suspect and is tried for murder. Directed by Olivia Newman and written by Lucy Alibar, the film stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Taylor John Smith, Harris Dickinson, Michael Hyatt, Sterling Macer Jr., Jojo Regina, Garret Dillahunt, Ahna O'Reilly, and David Strathairn. Mychael Danna composed the film's soundtrack, which includes the original song "Carolina" by Taylor Swift. The song won an MTV Movie & TV Award and was nominated for various other accolades, including a Critics' Choice Award, a Golden Globe, a Grammy, and a Satellite Award. Where the Crawdads Sing was released in the United States on July 15, 2022, by Sony Pictures Releasing. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised Edgar-Jones's performance but found the film's overall tone incoherent. The film was a box office success, grossing $144.3 million against a $24 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
