Critics Consensus

Neither funny enough to recommend as a black comedy nor unpredictable enough to work as a mystery, Maggie Moore(s) is less than the sum of its parts.

Barry Hertz

Globe and Mail

The film is an enjoyably slippery concoction that further proves Hamm has the leading-man chops that major studios so desperately need.

Noah Berlatsky

Chicago Reader

You can craft a bleak parable about human venality and cruelty or you can tell a heartwarming story about the miracle of human connection. But when you try to do both at once, it feels jarring.

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

Maggie's crackling cast, including Tina Fey and Nick Mohammed, handles the clever dialogue with aplomb.

Rated: 3/4

The Post NZ

Actor-turned-director John Slattery’s first film in a decade is a terrific Coen-esque caper filled with colourful characters, dark humour and delightful dialogue.

...a pretty-good endeavor that feels like it could (and should) be so much better.

Rated: 2.5/4

Stephen Applebaum

Radio Times

The talented cast suffers from underwritten characters that just about get by on charm, while a pervasive cartoonishness means nothing carries much weight and the film, while watchable, will likely be quickly forgotten.

Rated: 3/5

A strange, entertaining and unpredictable story. Hamm is good, but his Mohammed offsider an excellent foil. Plenty of twists, brutality and romance. Low budget but well done.

A lot of unexpected turns and some sharp dialogue made this quite an entertaining watch. The acting and directing were on point. The ending was pretty overcooked but not enough to burn the movie.

The movie had a cute vibe with John Hamm and Tina Fey, but it was a little light in content. I did care about those lead actors’ characters, but the movie overall is forgettable, unfortunately.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I feel like even when presenting a dark comedy you should be aware that there are some things that are off limits. Ten minutes into this film a plot involving child P*** is presented. We watched for 25 minutes more but decided to bail as child p*** doesn't set a real "comedy" or "satire" mood. I enjoy dark comedy, but this was tone deaf.

Both my daughters and I enjoyed the movie. We were following the romance more than the mystery, however, we did do some research regarding the real victims and were heartbroken over their tragic deaths. It would be good if through the profits of this film the families of the women who were murdered would receive a percentage of the grossing total. Like 100% of the sale of the book, “Princess and Tortuga” by Pery Eos is used to combat child exploitation through donations to Underground Railroad.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
