It’s both trying to be a melodramatic pot-boiler and a courtroom drama, and neither work particularly well. It just feels like it’s trying to cram too much into a movie. Read more

Where the Crawdads Sing does Southern Gothic like Justin Beiber doing Delta blues. You’ll recognize the words and music, but any true feeling is bogged down by all the polish. Read more
