Delia's Gone (2022)
6/10
Small-town crime suspenser that aims for "Fargo" heights but falls pretty far short
12 September 2022
In small-town suspenser "Delia's Gone" learning-disabled Stephan James' convicted of killing sis Genelle Williams, but on his release hears he may not've been responsible - sending him quietly, relentlessly (and violently) around his depressed, rural town after the truth via scrotes like Travis Fimmel, Billy MacLellan & Graham Abbey... as Sheriff Paul Walter Hauser & state detective Marisa Tomei hunt him (while addressing tensions between them). Hauser & Tomei's class make them by far the most interesting aspect, but they're too underused to save this from being simplistically mediocre. Writer / director Robert Budreau may have aimed for "Fargo" heights... but missed.
