Where The Crawdads Sing is a lot of things: a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, a survivalist tale and a tear-jerking romance. Not all are successful.

Based on the best-selling novel and book club favourite by Delia Owens and brought to the big screen by producer Reese Witherspoon, the film wastes little time getting to the most interesting part of the story.
