First I saw the movie in theaters with my sister then I borrowed the book from my grandma and both were so good I can’t wait to get the movie I’m obsessed ?

Read the book and saw the movie and both painted a poetic picture of coastal North Carolina and a girls journey to find herself. The book is well worth reading and the movie is one to watch and watch again. It is in many ways very reminiscent of to Kill A Mockingbird and how much the prejudiced of a small southern town can affect the life of one individual and shape their future. The film is well acted and has beautiful cinematography. A film that will prove to be a classic !

Riveting from beginning to the very end. Definitely a girl flick.
The Movie Guy –
Chase Andrews (Harris Dickinson) the town’s star quarterback is discovered dead from a fall. The police suspect fowl play on scanty evidence and charge recluse Kya (Daisy Edgar-Jones) also known as “marsh girl.” The film then becomes a retelling of her life leading up to that moment interrupted by the present court room drama.Normally I would not like a film like this. But it was so remarkably well done, like a work of art. This is an Oscar worthy film. It has been a long time since I have said that. Hollywood is back. I loved Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Fresh” too.Guide; No F-word. Sex. No nudity. Attempted rape.

I saw a wonderful movie this weekend, and shortly afterward was quite pleased when I learned that the Rotten Tomato Popular Score was 97%. It deserved it. But then, in almost the same breath, I learned that the critics’ score was only 34 … 34%!I can’t understand how such a score could exist for the movie I just saw, other than critics being the kind of people who love lording their inflated egos over the work of dedicated artists.For the record, I saw a movie that was character-oriented, suspenseful, mysterious and joyful. I saw a strong woman trying to survive in a world made to destroy her kind, and I saw a love story that did its best to transcend that. I saw a dangerous swamp that was somehow lush, embracing and beautifulI. I saw people behaving in a selfless, noble manner, and others at their most cruel. It was well-acted, and well directed.What I didn’t see is a film that was worth a 34 from supposedly well educated critics. Daisy Edgar-Jones was excellent as the Marsh Girl. Taylor John Smith and Harris Dickinson were great as Tate and Chase, her two love interests, and the always wonderful David Straitham was perfect as the lawyer defending her.I can understand that there are many who have read the wonderful novel, and might find the film does not capture the beautiful prose of the book. But that is a criticism that disallows the film its own chance to succeed on its own merits … and you’ll miss out on an enjoyable movie at that.[NOTE: If you like this movie, you may want to see another that goes where this one did … and it has a star-packed cast, including a very mean, a very un-likeable Keanu Reeves. It’s called THE GIFT. ]
