    I understand this came out in June but it's been "held over" for 12
    weeks at the local cinema so I figured it would be worth seeing. David Strathairn was the only actor I recognized, who does his usual competent performance as the lawyer for a North Carolina "swamp girl" with a knack
    for wildlife art who gets involved in a love triangle and accused of
    murdering one of them. Based on a hugely selling book, its two-hour and
    change runtime seemed to go by pretty fast. Recommended.

    Daisy Edgar-Jones seems to be becoming a big name. We first saw her in
    the UK comedy TV series "Cold Feet" (recognisably anyway, she had bit
    parts in shows before that). She's also been in the French-British
    series "War of the Worlds" and the UK series "Normal People". She now
    seems to be getting her foot in teh door in US productions with this
    movie and the mini-series "Under the Banner of Heaven".

    Didn't realize she was British (although the double-barrelled name is
    somewhat of a giveaway), she lost the accent pretty well.

    I bought the highly-rated book from Amazon during the Covid
    constrictions, and found it to be... well... saccharine pap. Now I
    suppose I'll have to see the movie, to discover what I must've missed.

    There's a lot of narration in the movie by the lead character, I presume
    much of it came directly from the book. If you didn't like the book you probably won't be impressed with the movie either.
