What to Know

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. Aug 29, 2023 Full Review 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. Jun 29, 2023 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times Maggie's crackling cast, including Tina Fey and Nick Mohammed, handles the clever dialogue with aplomb. Rated: 3/4 Jun 17, 2023 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.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. Mar 11, 2024 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a pretty-good endeavor that feels like it could (and should) be so much better. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 10, 2023 Full Review 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 Aug 15, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Dale M Fun, entertaining crime dramady Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/20/23 Full Review Kyle M A loose slow burn that pays off at the end, redeeming satisfaction besides sporadic humor whilst rewarding those with likable deliverances and bringing down justice to those who don’t. (B) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Peter P I am giving this 5 stars for what it is in its genre. It had an engaging plot and mystery with some good chuckles, and the script was smart and well-paced. the mix of all the elements was pleasing. wish it didnt have to throw in random strip club scene. other than that, enjoyed the movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/26/24 Full Review Audience Member A murderer mystery cop story with a dry comedic and romantic touch. It almost feels like a Coen brothers movie. The juxtaposition of punchlines next to the murders comes across a bit unsettling. But that's also one of the messages brought up in the script so in a way it fits. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/30/24 Full Review Charles T Witty, funny, not obvious with cliches. When is the last time that I launghed at a so-called comedy within the past ten years? Never. Ham was great. The other leads were not so good. At times the actors LOOKED like they were acting into a camera, rather than conversing with someone. Featuring a Budweiser or a Budweiser sign (or both) in practically every series or movie that has come out of Hollywood has become annoying and and it looks desprate. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review CD E This is at least an entertaining film. However, it was described as a "comedy thriller" and I found zero comedy in the film despite Tina Fey and Jon Hamm in the leading roles. I wouldn't go out of my way to see it, but it was good enough to watch on TV for a night in. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
