Keeping the viewers on the edge of their seats with twists and turns, the film beautifully portrays natures’ challenges. Every scene is executed well, showing how Kyas’ isolation from society shapes her survival instincts. The shots and cinematography are excellent, capturing the beauty and danger of the secluded swamp. There are a few scenes of sexual violence, although they don’t ruin the experience, it is not recommended for kids to watch the film. The murder mystery aspect of the film adds a gripping layer of suspense and intrigue. Olivia Newmans’ direction skillfully captures Kyas’ innocence and brings Delia Owens’ novel to life. The songwriting is brilliant, every song fits perfectly with Kyas’ experience, adding emotional depth to the film. The climax is thrilling, and the ending is touching. The film explores themes of love, loss and the human spirits’ capacity to endure and thrive against all odds, contributing to a memorable and immersive viewing experience.
