I knew she killed Chase the moment she told the publishers of her book why a Preying Mantis does what it does and that their was no malice in nature for all its brutality. She was essentially confessing the murder

When her mom come and finally pick her up at the end. That brokes me… she was waiting her whole life… she looked like an angel

“ The marsh knows all about death and doesn’t necessarily define it as tragedy, certainely not a sin. It understands that every creature does what it must to survive. And sometimes for prey to live, it’s predator must die.”

This movie was just gorgeous in every single way. The ending literally couldnt have been better

I thought the ending is just some wholesome moments displayed to her death. BUT THE TWIST GOT ME CHOKED. The ending could not be better than this 🤩

Being a victim of harrassment from an ex lover who's not willing to let go. This movie resonates with me so much. The fear stays in your bones, it stains your mind, it scars your spirit. You watch and hear those news about those girls getting slaughtered like pigs by the men who claim to love them and you're wondering if you'll end up the same. You're living your days not knowing when he'll come back to terrorize you again and worse, you can't tell anybody because you fear it'll just make matters worse. I know how she felt. I was her in the movie and she was me in reality.

Tate loved Kya regardless of finding out the truth and he understands why she did it

"Every creature must do to survive", "For every prey to live a predator must die" .... she did kill Chase she wrote the confession on her book when old Tate is reading it and she possess the missing shell necklace

How did she do it? She's the Marsh Girl! She didn't take the bus... she likely had a boat. And she knew exactly when the tides moved. So smart.

I was already in tears cause I'm an emotional person who was frustrated with this poor girl's situation and then extremely happy when she got the not guilty verdict and that there's a freaking movie guy for once that actually treats her with respect and doesn't even try to bed with her until the end; But when Older Kya saw her mom's spirit and then it switches to a younger Kya calling out "Ma" it broke me even more! this was an amazing movie.

" I hope when it’s time for me to leave, I’ll go quick and easy without making too much noise. "

The lawyer also knew the truth. But he decided to help her because he felt guilty about seeing her suffer in her childhood and not being able to do his job. Great movie, now I'm going to buy the book!

Now, I understand the ending scene. When it was in the lyrics of Carolina "And I'll meet no ghost, it's between me, the sand, and the sea Carolina knows".. Her life is a victim of unfair world, leaving her no choice, but strive to see her worth. If she did something it is when she think it was. I was amazed on how did this masterpiece story made. Wow. ❤️👏👏👏👏👌👌

So glad that Kya got to live a peaceful life before her death. At least she’s with her mother and Jumpin in heaven now !! ♥️♥️

Just watched this on Netflix tonight, I deeply sorry for myself to be ignorant not knowing there's such a beautiful movie like this one. All scenes were perfectly filmed, the scenery was too good, also the ending! What a beautiful type of plot twist. ❤ Absolutely an heartfelt experience.

Here's the poem she wrote and where Tate finds the necklace: The Firefly Luring him was as easy As flashing valentines. But like a lady firefly They hid a secret call to die. A final touch, Unfinished; The last step, a trap. Down, down he falls, His eyes still holding mine Until they see another world. I saw them change. First a question, Then an answer, Finally an end. And love itself passing To whatever it was before it began. A.H.

Her family abandoning her was disgusting and they never came back

I like that this is a story about her personal strength and resilience. She did almost everything by herself. Quite frankly, her family including her mother failed her as did Tate to a certain degree early on.

Just watched this movie for the first time today. Idk why i never saw it before, its a really good movie. The part where her mother appeared to help her in her passing was gut wrenching i cry every time i watch that part. I would like to think a loved one comes to collect us when its our time.

Just finished the book and had to come back to rewatch this. I wish I could forget this ending to watch it all over again. One of the BEST plot twists in stories I’ve ever seen. Delia Owens is a genius and the movie adaptation is FLAWLESS. Also, Taylor’s song. ❤

I held it in the entire movie but when I saw her mom walking up the trail to finally pick her up it broke me. Kaia had been waiting her whole life for her mother to take her away so she could be free and by the end she finally was.

I remember how earlier in the film Kya was explaining the animals in the marsh and they’re methods of surviving. Or as she put it, “creative ways to ensure”. Sums up her relationship with Chase. He’s a predator and she’s his prey. She was just trying to survive. Even if that meant killing him.

I don’t even watch stuff that much but I saw this movie on Netflix and instantly was drawn to it like I knew it was a beautiful movie and there was so many sweet moments that made me cry. It’s probably going to be my top movies forever!

Wow this was a beautiful and empowering movie. I got so extremely emotionally watching it because it really portrays that in loneliness and sadness we can be uplifted when we least expect it. I really was moved 😢❤

I finished this last night. THAT ENDING 😳

This is one of the best movies I have seen in a while. And probably would not have seen it if my niece had not come and took me to her house for Mother's Day weekend. The ending was not anything I was expecting.

Never read the books. Watched this film at Netflix and I just shit myself. What a twist. 10/10.

Incredible film. Such an amazing ending

This story is a Masterpiece. Truly. A part of me LOVES the ending, and a part of me mourns for the guy she killed too. He too was trapped in his world, and his violence with Kya is not acceptable and had he stayed away he could have lived his life. Its unfortunate he chose to continue to stalk and harm Kya. It led to his demise. In her world, where she is an utter and complete naturalist, it was going to be him or her, and it was completely natural for her to protect herself, a right even, in her mind, though she knew she would be condemned for it, because he come from the world of entitlement and wealth, and she was, in their minds, just a marsh girl, inferior and despised. There is such a wisdom in this movie, something we all relate to and empathize with her about.

Goosebumps!!!! Like omg, the longest goosebumps I've ever felt after encountering a plot twist 👏🏼🙌🏼

This has become a favorite a movie of mine and I loved the book as well. Brilliantly taken to the big screen by some amazing women that give life to Delia's vision.

Watched this today alone my mom's birthday was yesterday may she r.i.p we both would have loved this movie the ending had me sobbing! Very very good movie well done 👏

This is hands down the most underrated movie of 2022

I looooved this film. It's beautiful in every way. Daisy and Smith were sooo good.

There’s nothing immoral in nature. Words from the killer that walks among us.

I lost my mum when I was just four years old, and I pray my mum comes to collect me when I finally leave this god awful planet. It was such a beautiful ending, but also, I never knew it was Kya who did it. That blew my mind because I actually thought it was Jumpin because in the film just after the court scene with the red hat. You see him pick it up off the floor and dust off the hat using his dungarees, but I bet that's why it's in the script. So that it threw us off the scent. Brilliant film.

Absolute masterpeice.

Only movie that felt like reading a novel in the best possible way while watching throughout!

15/10 ✨✨✨✨✨✨ Wow. The whole story is mind blowing especially the twist at the end. I thought it was an accident. I really love her..

Watched this last night now it’s one of my favorite movies

I cry about 3 times during this movie. Amazing.. just amazing❤

It’s rare I enjoy both a book I have read and then the film version too, usually one disappoints. For me I loved the film and book in equal measure. The ending was beautifully done in the film, I knew what was coming. Just lovely, which is why I wanted to listen to the words spoken again ☺️.

I'm not a movie person, but this one succeeded in making my butt ingrained to a couch for straight two hours.. Masterpiece cinematography that led the viewers wonder what happened next..

The marsh taugh her well about the ways of the wild and they way of the nature that there will always be a predator and a prey she observe different species fighting day to day for survival and morality is not a thing when one's must kill to survive in the wild it's all primal instinct.. that's the reason why she still looked innocent and don't care about the trial for her she it's just a natural order of things that the marsh and the judgemental society teached her.. in the end she never bothered when someone will question her if she did the right thing.. she knows in the eyes of the society she broke a law but in the law of the wild it's natural order to kill for one's survival.

great movie, i ll see it again and again, and I recommended when some one is looking for a good movie to watch.

Why is no one talking about the scene after kya and the lawyer are talking in the cell about her taking the stand. And it shows a flash back of the lawyer walking around the town the night kya was supposed to be in Greenville and looks over and sees her in the green dress sitting at a bench talking to someone !?! I feel like that is the biggest scene in the whole movie to put the pieces together

The book and the movie are excellent. So many heartbreaking plots and the surprise ending. ❤

Read the book last week and just watched the movie for the very first time. The movie is good but it's so hard to do justice to the book. The details in the books are what make the story special. I am happy that she met her brother and lived with the true ❤️

Beautiful !!!...Beautiful 🥰

I saw this movie two days ago it a beautiful movie. This movie makes you love the character even though what she did was wrong you kinda you feel less sympathy for chase

I remember enjoying this movie when I first saw it in september.

Very beautiful movie!! My only thing is...i find this family very odd. First the mum walks out, leaving all the children with a man who beats anybody in sight. Then the siblings start running away ONE BY ONE and Jodie leaves last,leaving a defenceless Kya ALONE with a violent prick of a father, when he should have grabbed her hand and firmly said let's get out of here, i'm not leaving you alone with him. Then the father himself leaves😩 I mean the whole family except Kya, displayed supreme selfishness. Never once did the other siblings come back for their little sister. And Jodie just randomly shows up and tries to be her brother again. Like....wow.

The part where Kya sees her mom, means she came to pick her daughter and both head to be together in heaven. Which it shed me in tears.

Me an a buddy went to see this i didn't know it was a love story but still loved the movie tho when we left an lights came on we were the youngest by far an most were couples had a laugh afterwords

I love the song, “Carolina” by the one and only Taylor Swift. It’s also a blast to play on my red Taylor guitar. She’ll be nominated for best original song in a motion picture. She’s already nom for a golden globe. Also, the actress who played Kya; she’s British?! It’s like when I found out Jodie is scouse😮

Maybe Tate killed the guy? Kya knew about it but kept it secret. She took the necklace and kept it for an unknown reason? In the end, Tate realised that Kya has known this secret all along?

Got done watching the movie and it was beautiful 😍 Chase wanted to claim what was his and Catherine wasn’t having any of that. She would’ve been in jail if she hadn’t hidden that necklace.

I love this movie, taylor song make me lovein even more, such beautiful story.

I saw this movie yesterday today was my grandmas birthday she died in February i hope that when its my time to die she comes back for me

Gosh this movie gives me goosebumps

This movie deserve 5 ⭐️

Masterpiece

the ending gave me chills

Just watched this and was instantly hooked. Absolutely fell in love and cried. Did not expect the ending twist one bit 🫢 Apart of me felt Tate did it protecting her. This movie gave me a Nicholas Sparks feel but with mystery. Just amazing ❤️

I just finished it. And this scene wasn’t as shocking to me as it was exciting! Thus is life and in the real world, as much as people hate to hear it, it’s kill or be killed. You can’t ask to find someone like this on some dating app. Life lessons make you who you are. Only the toughest cubs make it to adulthood and they do it by learning how to survive aka by any means possible. Also, in my opinion, this is why I think women, since the beginning of time, have always been fighters. My mom is a fighter. Growing up, I saw first hand how a woman navigated the system against all odds, escaped her childhood and became financially independent. There are countless more stories like this movie to be told about the strength of women. Im so glad I clicked on this movie tonight.

I read this book and just finished open youtube tonsearch fir the movie and this scene came not I'm crying !!! Her mom finally came to take her little girl...to finally be together 😭😭

This Wonderful movie reminds me a lot of Where The Red Fern Grows …. About Love..Loyalty…Life❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

This movie was friggin awsome . Its now a classic .

Download the soundtrack! This is a beautiful movie!

"Will you marry me?" "Well, aren't we already? Like geese?"

The best movie I have ever watched

“Hey, you know I love you, right?”

Tate the one who loyal to kya till the day of his life. He was shocked but he still respect his wife

One of the best endings ever. RIP BOZO !!

The ending has a twist. I really love this movie.

This film robbed me and I didn’t see it coming

Wow amazing amazing movie

I watched it a second time at the cinema just because of this discovery.

So she did catch the bus back, sorted out chase and head back at 2.30am bus back to the publisher in the morning to get a strong Alibi.

i was SHOOK

5:01 a look of longing for something then suddenly it comes and you feel proud. Could be the best way to go out

Done watching Just today

They should have added a short recap at the end of the movie of how she managed to murder Chase. I really didnt think she murdered him when her lawyer explained her alibi. How no one saw her on a bus and so on. Great movie anyways.

just like the movie BASIC INSTINCT with Sharon Stone. Was Stone the Killer??? Necklace hidden in a book or an ice pick lying under the bed. Both endings have you wondering.

I’m so mad we couldn’t read what she wrote in the book below the drawing of Chase

On my list. ...

Reminds me of the notebook 🌙

That’s the things rights? It was either going to be her or him. I’ve assisted in recovery with victims of abuse. I’ve unfortunately know of cases close to me where jealous sociopathic lovers search out to murder. It’s horrifying and crazy!

So many onions

I knew there will be an answer to my questions, but I didn't see that coming, i thought it was Tate, sorry Tate lol

I wish I never had the spoiler 😢 I watched the film knowing all the time what had happened 💔

I couldn't understand the ending ... So I'm here checking the comments still no clue.. plz tell me did she killed Clark??

I knew she killed him when they shown the scene where they first went to the fire tower together. She clearly was leaving enough fingerprints and DNA. Which means someone did clean the tower after the death

Maybe some primitive urge-some ancient genes, not appropriate anymore-drove Ma to leave us - Kya

I knew she killed him since the start i mean living by herself for years in that place environment its just her defense mechanism like a prey and predator what would you if someone is hunting you? You'll fight for your life ofc

P😢😢r kya she was abandoned by everyone but she made herself a family

What is wrong with you people thinking she’s in the wrong? What about chase? He wronged her in so many ways but all you can talk about is how she was the one who killed him. She was defending herself. That man would have never left her alone. She only had herself, no one would have helped her. You people are what’s wrong in this world. Just like those judgmental people in the movie.

Mor Sandhya ❤

wish they had children , i don't wanna see old people living alone😢
