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

I really enjoyed this movie until the last few minutes. They killed off a character that didn't need to die. It didn't fit the rest of the movie, and changed the whole feel of it. The rest of the movie, even with all the murders, felt like a dark comedy. The last few minutes were way too serious and sad.

Peacock says this is a comedy but 15-20 minutes in, nothing but weirdness that involves woman stalked and killed and child porn and a guy setting up his wife to be killed. Online, people are saying it's a "dark comedy". It's evidently so dark that no comedy can be found. Are writers today no longer able to write comedy? I'm surprised to see Hamm and Fey involved in such a waste.

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
