Netflix Fans Rave About '10/10' Movie – But Caution About its Heart-Wrenchingly Sad Ending

Netflix users have been buzzing like a swarm of bees over Daisy Edgar-Jones' supposedly *10/10* movie, *Where The Crawdads Sing*, yet they come with a cautionary tale about its achingly beautiful ending. This film, based on the novel by Delia Owens, first graced our screens back in the summer of 2022. Recently, however, it has found a cozy little spot in Netflix's expansive database, and like moths to a flame, fans have flocked to it.

The story revolves around a girl left to her own devices, portrayed by the charming and talented Daisy, as she navigates the swamps of North Carolina, raised amidst the whispers of nature. With a fierce spirit, she evolves into a naturalist but finds herself in murky waters—quite literally—when she becomes the prime suspect in a murder case involving the town's golden boy (because, of course, nothing says “good small-town living” like being accused of murder).

Fans have taken to a Netflix fan page, showering the film with praise, while also throwing in some loving jabs about the original book. "It's a good movie, but the book is better," lamented one user. Another chimed in with a heartfelt recommendation, “Highly recommend the book!” Ah, yes, the classic movie-versus-book debate—a staple in the relationship we all have with storytelling. One particularly sensitive soul warned, “Good one to watch. I really enjoyed this but it is sad at the end. I may watch again.” Others were less nuanced, doling out compliments like candy at a parade—“very good,” “outstanding,” and the coveted “10/10.”

The film, boasting a star-studded cast that includes Taylor John Smith, Harris Dickinson, and Michael Hyatt, had quite the reception despite mixed reviews at launch. Financially speaking, it was the darling of the box office—grossing a whopping $144.3 million off a mere $24 million budget. Who knew marshlands could be so lucrative?

It's worth noting that this cinematic gem is based on Delia Owens' international bestseller, which exploded—yes, exploded—during the pandemic lockdown, becoming synonymous with the term “word-of-mouth sensation.” Millions of copies danced off the shelves, earning a comfy spot on the New York Times bestseller chart for years.

At the Dublin premiere of *Where The Crawdads Sing*, Daisy Edgar-Jones reminisced about her own journey with the book, revealing that she, too, fell under its spell during the COVID crisis. “I read it as I was auditioning, and I loved the book,” she gushed. “I really fell in love with that world. I’d never been to a marsh before, and the writing was so vivid, I found myself utterly immersed in it.”

She continued, reflecting on the relatable isolation portrayed in the story: “This kind of lonely feeling is something we all may have felt during that time." Filming took place in the marshy surrounds of Louisiana, which was the perfect backdrop for a murder mystery—because, let’s face it, a hostile environment always makes for an intriguing plot, doesn’t it? She cheekily added, “We had crazy weather and big thunder and lightning storms that shook your bed.” Well, if that isn’t the perfect metaphor for her character's turbulent life, I don’t know what is.

So grab your popcorn, brace yourself for those emotionally charged scenes, and remember—there's nothing like a good watch that leaves you both entertained and slightly shattered. Just don't forget the tissues!
