“Where The Crawdads Sing” (**1/2 out of four) was a flavorful if uneven adaptation of Delia Owens’ best-selling novel about a woman (Daisy Edgar-Jones) who survived a tumultuous and abusive childhood and then raised herself on her own finds herself accused of murder of a man she once knew and she re-tells her story of growing up to her attorney (David Straitharn) who is the only one by her side. Stark cinematography from Polly Morgan and strong performances all around keep you involved but film never gathers much momentum and is never as incisive or powerful as it should have been. Marginally worth watching especially for fans of Owens’ novel.
