Martha Barlow, a modern-day outlaw, must reconcile her dark past after her teenage son commits a horrible crime.
Leave your thoughts about Big Muddy.
| Baret NewsKam WilliamsAtmospheric and absorbing, this well-crafted whodunit is rather reminiscent of Red Rock West. |
| NOW TorontoNorman WilnerBig Muddy is set in the present, but it doesn't have to be. The prairie-noir premise is pretty timeless. |
| The DissolveAndrew LapinWriter-director Jefferson Moneo, tackling his first feature, has a good handle on storytelling economy, and gives his unique setting—the badlands of Saskatchewan, where the movie was filmed and where Moneo calls home—ample time to shine. |
| Toronto StarLinda BarnardBig Muddy often looks darkly sublime but the script, expanded by Moneo from his 2011 short, isn't quite up to the task. |
| National PostDavid BerryIt 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. |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreBig Muddy is a big ol’ muddle of a thriller, a lot of dangerous characters converging, from various parts of the Canadian prairie, on a femme fatale and her teenage son. It’s a modern day Western, a B-movie that founders on a weak leading lady and a stumbling lack of urgency in the direction. |
| User ReviewRambo RThis movie was fantastic start to finish. Excellent acting |
| User ReviewJohn BBig 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. |
