Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle "The Details" is not just entertaining, but potentially useful. Rated: 4/4 Nov 8, 2012 Full Review John Hartl Seattle Times As the title suggests, it's all in the details, which writer-director Estes provides in large if not always convincing doses. Rated: 3/4 Nov 8, 2012 Full Review Tom Long Detroit News It's hard to make a fine actress like Laura Linney look off-key and shrill, but "The Details" manages to do just that. It's hardly an accomplishment. Rated: D+ Nov 2, 2012 Full Review Sean Burns Philadelphia Weekly Everything here is intentionally grotesque to service the filmmaker's cheap shots. Women and black people are just plain crazy. May 3, 2015 Full Review Cory Everett The Playlist Despite some tonal stumbles, the film mostly finds its footing and becomes an enjoyable comic enterprise. Rated: C+ Jul 10, 2013 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue The script is somewhat provocative in its examination of relationships during absurd circumstances, but its twists eventually become less compelling.

Matheus F Ray Liotta and Laura Linney are unreachable, they deserved several accolades for their performances. The story is good, funny, melancholic and I really enjoyed the chemistry between Maguire and Banks. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/26/25 Full Review Landon J As a Seattle metro native, it was really cool to see the setting in this! Toby fans will enjoy, I think his casting was just about perfect for this mc. Weird, intense, and more or less heartfelt. If you take issue with ambiguity, you may not find this satisfactory. I think this characteristic is what makes this, and similar titles, so worth watching and understanding. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/12/25 Full Review Eli H This film presents a darkly comedic exploration of the tangled web of human relationships with a standout performance from Tobey Maguire. The film's plot ties together themes of morality, obsession, and the consequences of our actions. While its quirky tone may not be for everyone, those who appreciate offbeat humor and layered storytelling will find this to be a satisfying watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/24 Full Review Chester This movie tries to be a dark comedy but I couldn't take seriously even the scenes which were supposed to have an "edge" to them. Maybe it is because Tobey Maguire has such a wide-eyed expression all the time. Only Ray Liotta's performance has any menacing weight to it. Laura Linney seems to be channeling the Sue Anne Nivens character from The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Not as bad as everyone says, the acting was pretty good, and as someone who deals with Cats and Raccoons myself, it was SO satisfying seeing the cat lady and the Raccoons both die Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Maravilhosamente apaixonante, o tipo de confusões com personagem desastrados que amamos… Ele tentando ser bom, se redimir, ownt, que fofo desastrado… A frase do filme "a vizinha morreu, parece que vai estragar o culto de hj a noite"... Ótimo desfecho, trágico, desalentador, pouco espirituoso, zero redenção, mas amamos a realidade nua e crua, exagera, mas sincera… Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
