Police Chief Sanders investigates the bizarre murders of two women with the same name and unravels a web of small-town lies. He meets and quickly falls for Rita, a nosy neighbor who is eager to help solve the mystery.

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.

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

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.

3/4

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

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.

3/5

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.

Not horrible... a number of reviewers mentioned Fargo, and yeah, this is a pale imitation in the same way Jay's store is an inferior imitation of a restaurant. There are some witty moments, but it feels overshadowed by world weariness. Add to that the tacked on romance subplot which also felt threadbare, it just didn't grab me.

Reminded me of Fargo (the original movie) - absurd and very watchable. Jon Hamm and Tina Fey are fabulous and supremely human. Nothing heavy, no guffaws either, but thoroughly enjoyable.

I never heard of this movie. I saw it starred Jon Hamm and Tina Fey and was curious. I watched the trailer and got more curious. This is a small quirky movie and I liked it. It has a Fargo vibe. Micah Stock is very good in the role of the husband. Hamm is actually great in the role of the Sheriff. Fey is always good. The supporting cast is good. I like Nick Mohammed as the Deputy. Well Directed.

Funny and dramatic and poignant. A nice diverse cast and that should have gotten it an Oscar nomination. But seriously, this movie started slowly but it tied up lose ends by the end. It wasn't lightening in a bottle but don't throw the baby out with the bath. Some new faces that all brought something to the party. This writer director has a nice start!
