Where The Crawdads Sing lands on Netflix this week, but what happens to lead character Kya in the end?The film was based on the massively successful 2018 novel by Delia Owens, and stars Normal People’s Daisy Edgar-Jones as Kya, a young woman living on her own in rural North Carolina, who is accused of murdering local man Chase Andrews (Harris Dickinson).Adapted for the screen by Lucy Alibar (Beasts of the Southern Wild) and directed by Olivia Newman (First Match), the film also boasts ‘Carolina’, an original song written and recorded for the film by Taylor Swift.Speaking about her relationship with the film, Swift said: “Where The Crawdads Sing is a book I got absolutely lost in when I read it years ago.
As soon as I heard there was a film in the works starring the incredible Daisy Edgar Jones and produced by the brilliant Reese Witherspoon, I knew I wanted to be a part of it from the musical side.“I wrote the song ‘Carolina’ alone and asked my friend Aaron Dessner to produce it.
I wanted to create something haunting and ethereal to match this mesmerising story.”In a two-star review of the film, NME wrote: “Where the Crawdads Sing is often laughable, but Newman doesn’t present the material with the kind of panache that could complete its transformation into a trash classic.
Like its heroine, it’s too skittish to embrace its inner wildness – a wannabe naturalist that insists on covering up.”When Kya’s former partner Chase is found dead in a nearby marsh, Kya is charged with his murder and is immediately assumed to be guilty by the suspicious townspeople.Kya had previously left Chase for Tate, a previous lover that had re-entered her life.
