I watched it Monday night and enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
I tried to like it, but just couldn't. Couldn't finish it.

I watched it the other day. I was high as shite and had trouble following the flashbacks.
I thought it was good but very strange. It was like The Notebook but with a murder mystery added to it.

I've got to believe that Kaya did it.
There's really no debate or speculation here

I watched it only cause it was something new on netflix. I had no expectations going into it but actually liked it.

Spoiler!
OK, but the movie decided to go with Kya narrating a different poem when Tate finds the necklace, where she says "sometimes for the prey to survive, the predator must die." Sure, it's not as poetic as the firefly luring the male only to kill it—they decided to hit you over the head to make it even more clear that she did it.

Yes. The book handles it better. In the book, Kya is fond of poetry and is occasionally reciting poems from her favorite poet (the end of the book also reveals that she is an accomplished, published poet under a pseudonym and the poems she had been reciting the entire book were actually her own. She kept that secret from everyone until death, including Tate). When Tate finds the necklace at the end, it is accompanied with a poem written by Kya about how female fireflies use their lights to attract potential male mates over to them, but the female ends up killing the male instead of mating with them. So the necklace with that poem makes it VERY clear she was the killer.
In the movie, she actually talks about the female fireflies killing the males during the brief dinner scene with the guy who wants to publish her book(s), but it is such a short scene that can be completely lost on the viewer. Not having that firefly story with the necklace reveal completed ruins the impact of the ending, imo. The significance of that firefly story was too easy to miss the way the movie did it.

Watched it a couple nights ago and thought it was solid. Hard to find a movie that me and Mrs jkyle both really liked. Def recommend

I enjoyed it a lot. A refreshing really good/well done movie that’s not about a super hero.
Great twist ending of her actually doing it. I really thought Jumpins wife was going to tell her he did it at his funeral. Really loved Jumpin and Mabel.

I enjoyed the book enough. I'm going to watch the movie this weekend.

I tried to watch it with the wife, but gave up about half way through. She finished it and said she enjoyed it.
