Where The Crawdads Sing (2022) DVD/Blu-ray –

One of the most talked about novels of the past 10 years is Delia Owens's New York Times, best-seller ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’. Due to the novel’s immense popularity, it was only a matter of time before it got the big-screen treatment, and in 2022 that’s exactly what happened. Director Olivia Newman bought the thriller to life earlier this year, and to great results, the film grossed over $137 million worldwide. Actress Daisy Edgar-Jones brings our Marsh Girl to life, Kya Clark, and is mesmerizing in the role. She continues her hot streak with yet another stellar performance. The film has a love story at its core and a mystery as well. It is the perfect film that will keep your mum entertained and if you want to get the book as well, then add it to the gift register as well.
