To be completely honest I only decided to see this movie because of Taylor Swift's song for the soundtrack, I had no idea about the cast or what it was about, but I was pleasantly surprised: I really liked the movie. In this post I will give you a little review.
Let's start with the plot: the movie is about the trial of Kya Clark who is charged with the murder of a young man who was her boyfriend. But this does not stop there, through the film we know the life of the girl who has been extremely difficult because her father was abusive, which led to be left alone because her mother and brothers were gradually leaving home, at a certain point Kya who was a girl is left alone and must learn to survive with the things she has in the swamp surrounding her house. This situation is decisive for all the relationships she will forge throughout her life.
The film stars Daisy Edgar Jones, whom we know from "Normal People", who plays an incredible role. To see how she changes, how Kya "adapts" as she is introduced into society is incredible, Daisy makes it all very organic. The cast also includes Taylor Smith Johnson, Harris Dickinson and David Strathairn who plays Tom Milton who is Kya's lawyer, and who also gives us an excellent update, trying to prove the girl's innocence.
I think one of the things that contributes the most to the narration of the story is the photography, which is set in North Carolina: the swamps, the beaches, the pipes that lead to Kya's house, everything is very well calculated to support the story, the fauna of the place also has an important role in the film. The film has a very good pace, there is always something going on, so you don't get bored and I don't feel that there are unnecessary subplots that make watching the film tedious.
I'm still surprised by how much I liked the movie, I recommend watching it. I give it a 4/5
