July Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss18 of 29
Where the Crawdads Sing | In Theaters on Friday, July 15
Plot: A woman who raised herself in the marshes of the deep South becomes a suspect in the murder of a man she was once involved with.
Our Take: Delia Owens' best-selling historical fiction novel comes alive on the big screen this summer, thanks to Reese Witherspoon's production company, Hello Sunshine, which picked up the adaptation after it was named a monthly pick for Reese's Book Club. If that star power weren't enough to get buzz going, the casting of Daisy Edgar-Jones as isolated "marsh girl," Kya, a murder mystery plotline, and a soundtrack featuring a brand-new Taylor Swift song ought to do it. — Hannah
