Adam Nayman Globe and Mail 05/29/2015
3/4
It's a quintessentially Canadian idea mixed in with the material Moneo borrows from various hard-boiled film noirs and sun-dappled westerns. Go to Full Review Linda Barnard Toronto Star 05/28/2015
2/4
Big Muddy often looks darkly sublime but the script, expanded by Moneo from his 2011 short, isn't quite up to the task. Go to Full Review Norman Wilner NOW Toronto 12/18/2015
4/5
Big Muddy is set in the present, but it doesn't have to be. The prairie-noir premise is pretty timeless. Go to Full Review David Berry National Post 05/07/2015
2/4
It dawdles and meanders a little too much in the getting there, but at least once Martha and Stan are in the same house, Big Muddy starts livening up its beat-up setting. Go to Full Review Andrew Lapin The Dissolve 01/21/2015
3/5
Jefferson Moneo, tackling his first feature, has a good handle on storytelling economy, and gives his unique setting ample time to shine. Go to Full Review Kam Williams Baret News 01/19/2015
4/4
Atmospheric and absorbing, this well-crafted whodunit is rather reminiscent of Red Rock West. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

06/10/2015 This movie was fantastic start to finish. Excellent acting See more 05/28/2015 Big Muddy is an homage to the fields of Saskatchewan but little else. The acting is wooden, the story full of holes and the delivery is dull. See more Read all reviews
