'Maggie Moore(s)' Review: Jon Hamm And Tina Fey Reunite And Lift Murder Mystery/Romantic Drama - Tribeca Film Festival
Film Festival Spotlight Narrative category, is on paper an extremely clever premise for a murder mystery. When one woman named Maggie Moore is found murdered, the man responsible for the hit job, who also happens to be her husband, stumbles on to yetwoman with the exact same name living just a few blocks away in the same small American town.
however wasn’t interested in just a straight telling of this aspect, but more in exploring the lives, and tentative relationships, of some of the characters on the fringe of the main event, and that first and foremost is Jordan, now widowed for over a year and making tentative awkward attempts at another chance at love when he meets the neighbor, Rita Grace of the first Maggie Moore and her husband Jay .
Solving the mystery and striking up a romance becomes a real balancing act in terms of tone with the two story strands eventually colliding. Fortunately for Slattery he has Hamm and Fey in key roles and these pros know exactly how to make this work, even when at times the whole souffle might fall thanks to the black comedic arc overwhelmed by Stock’s guilty husband, and the deaf and frightening hitman he hires to pull off both murders.
Still this is the kind of modest endeavor with a script and fractured characters interesting enough to keep us engaged for 99 minutes, and also the kind of film Hollywood major studios used to do before tentpole superhero movies sent them to PVOD and streaming . Hamm has found some pretty nifty roles of late in this kind of character-driven , if small movie, like the terrificCorner Office.and he has another role here that fits like a glove. He is well-matched btw with Mohammed who in just a few scenes creates a Deputy/friend who is fully dimensional. Fey doesn’t get to show her dramatic chops as often, but as in 2016’sshe proves she has the range here too, and her budding romance with Jordan is touching.
