This is a great movie! Saw it once and had to have it for my collection. Great performances by all actors. The end may leave you a little"what happened to" feeling, but still a cut above.

At Least Tamara Braun Was In It
Added 6/12/2009
I have to say that after watching the trailer for this movie I had pretty high hopes that it was going to be a really good movie. I have to say I was quite wrong. Other then a couple strong performances, the acting felt very loose and the story was a bit all over the place. I have to say if it wasn't for Tamara Braun, it would have gotten 1 star for a review.

I've seen worse.

Not many mind you, this movie is in exclusive company. I'm only giving it 2** out of respect for all the doofuses giving it 4 and 5 star ratings.
Johnathon Schaech, he's one of my favorites, but I'm guessing he hates this movie as evidenced by his lack of a cajun accent since he's running a dockside Bait Shop down on the bayou along with his brother, who has the IQ of a crawfish on life support.
For all you fans of cajun movies (all 3 of you) there is plenty of fishin, shootin, bad sheriffs, hot women, calf killin, store robbin, crawfish eatin, and drunken daddies to make things semi-interesting except for the ridiculous script and the fact that this movie is directed by a WOMAN who in cajun society comes in a distant 5th to crawfish, shrimp, beer and red beans. Basically women are DQ'd from making an attempt to translate what this movie is trying to convey, that's why is DOESN'T!
And the people talking about "how beautiful" this thing is.....hello people, it was entirely filmed in a SWAMP! Yeah, it dont get any better than that.
Its a stupid movie, I fell for the reviews here and thank god I only suffered a rental. 2 Crawdads and I'm being kind.

Fantastic movie - a must.
Added 1/10/2009
Finally a wonderful movie filmed in the great southwest Louisiana instead of New Orleans. Bethany Ashton Wolf definitely pour her heart into the movie. I congratulate her on showing what a beautiful and serene life we had in SW Louisiana and that more than just New Orleans was devastated by hurricanes that fateful year. But most importantly it shows how important family and friends are to us in our "Cajun world" and they we're not just Mardi Gras and hot sauce.

Good movie!
Added 1/6/2009
The story line is good and the acting is very well done. Filmed mostly in Louisiana, it depicts some of the people around here. Not all! I am from south Louisiana and found the movie enjoyable just as long as non-Louisiana people don't really believe that we all talk like this. But a good movie nonetheless. My husband even worked security on the film locations when they were down here!
