She’s lovely in this role and the movie was as illustrative as the novel. Well done!! 👏

[@marvinmartion1178]

One of the best movies I’ve seen in years!!!!

[@dancelifeforsure]

Same!! Oscar worthy

[@stevenjaymante1301]

She is so lovely and the way she portrayed her role from WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING so perfect.. English actresses are so beautiful. She looks like Anne Hathaway ,Rachel Weisz and Dakota Johnson .

[@commandlion8667]

She's versatile, I saw "Fresh" right before this. Crawdads is terrific.

[@jeffstewart7976]

[@nowasteline]

Wait she’s British 😱 I would’ve never known by the accent she did in the movie

[@loriburke7856]

Can't wait to see the movie!☺

[@joiecalimpong7670]

Love this film

[@destinyehimen7463]

I love you Daisy❤

[@odilmardasilveiracarneiro6357]

Sensacional a atuação dela neste filme, fiquei impresionado, esta ai mais uma atriz com ums carreira promissora. Parabéns.

[@shankarbalakrishnan2360]

Crawdad was such a good movie ❤❤🎉🎉 and u

[@DrSleep-ep6cw]

the creek on my property has singing crawdads, I love to hear them sing "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" and "Poker Face"

[@annabanana8700]

She looks like Emmy Rossum💖

[@johncarey4186]

All the British actors do perfect American accents

[@l.a.3479]

Not all of them. But this one does.

[@stevenjaymante1301]

yuh, I agree she looks like Dakota Johnson, rachel weisz and Anne Hathaway.

[@leanordials8008]

What's a crawdad! Oh my goodness, do your research! Lol

[@davidirving9242]

Daisy has great legs!

[@sloden4164]

She looks like Emmy Rossum

[@sujijordhan4994]

❤️👍

[@maryg.1014]

Gayle didn't realize she was British?

[@agyk586]

I thought it was a weird that she kept coming back to it - a bit superficial and a boomer comment

[@maryg.1014]

@@agyk586 I'm nearly a boomer but good grief, that show got so much press, it's hard to imagine a reporter would not be aware of her background.

[@dancelifeforsure]

Threw the movie she ment.

[@Worldwide505]

*FUN FACT: This actress (Daisy Edgar Jones) had signed S.S. Rajamouli's Movie (RRR : Rise Roar Revolt) and then she had to leave the film because of shooting conflict.*

[@janicesmart5002]

Great book, fantastic movie! But seriously Gayle, you don’t know what a crawdad is? 🙄

[@l.a.3479]

🤣🤣🤣

[@jeffreymiddleton4063]

Accents is a major thing is it bonkers or crazy

[@lilybsrose]

Spoiler alert

[@jeffreymiddleton4063]

Her lips look differ3nt than one is she a clone oh well

[@secretpal6039]

Gayle King isn’t the brightest…

[@debbieberry4150]

She's a he. Wake up people. Not saying he's not talented, just that they're all actors and all the world's a stage.

[@musicismyfriend7919]

No way. She's not a he; she's an android.

[@novemberamigos726]

This is the worst acting I’ve seen in a While. No truth at all in her words. Completely forced! She’s probably good, but she wasn’t good on this movie. It’s so nails-on-a-chalkboard cringy.

[@ronmilly2121]

There is one in every crowd.

[@JessicaChastainFan]

That's an accurate description of Tom Cruise in Top Gun 2. Dead wrong about Daisy in Crawdads. Watch more quality motion pictures than the highly commercialized, big budget trash.

[@novemberamigos726]

@@JessicaChastainFan ? What does Tom cruise have to do with anything? How weird and awkward of you. Is he mentioned on this video? Do you know what my mind thinks? Stop being a fan and just try being objective and not taking it personal m’am!

[@MrC8025]

lol, that's a stretch. She was decent in the movie. I wouldn't say oscar worthy, but far from bad.

[@adrianeburke9087]

Did we watch the same movie? Because I thought she was amazing!
