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 3/5 Stars •  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 3.5/5 Stars •  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 3/5 Stars •  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 3/5 Stars •  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 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow, was I just deeply absorbed into every single minute of this film. I was definitely not expecting this film to be this good. The film starts off with Dr. Jeffrey Lang (Tobey Maguire) narrating about the titular "details" of the film to look out for later in the movie and while they are plentiful, they're manageable and really have you paying close attention to the movie. While the script might not be very good, outstanding performances from every single member of this cast help you overlook it. Jeff (Tobey Maguire) and his wife Nealy's (Elizabeth Banks) relationship is evidently tenuous and strained but they have enough chemistry to make you believe that they still both deep-down truly care about one another. Jeff's relationship with Lincoln (Dennis Haysbert) is surprisingly heartfelt and believable and I even got teary-eyed when Jeff revealed that he was going to be donating his kidney to his dying self. Without getting into the details of this film (no pun intended) the various acts of infidelity that Jeff's character performs have you as the viewer hating his character but at the same time wondering how deep into the abyss he'll fall without informing his wife. There's also a particularly tense scene near the middle of the film where a character confronts Dr. Jeff at a bridge and does something unthinkable to have you and Dr. Jeff himself thinking about how low he's fallen. This then leads to an attempted act of redemption on Jeff's part to get his life back together before a sudden and completely unexpected turn for the worse. The more solemn than happy ending wraps things up nicely and has you wondering (like the characters) as to what the hell just happened. The film never drags on and the colors of the film are cool and relaxing (in stark contrast to the film itself). The acting here is fantastic as well and it solidified my opinion that Tobey Maguire with his expressive face is a generational talent, and any scene with him yelling in it is genuinely frightening and deserves an Oscar-nomination. It's a shame that he's taken up producing instead recently, hopefully he'll return to the A-list with Damien Chazelle's upcoming film "Babylon." This film had me flustered, stressed, laughing, weirded out, and teary eyed in the span of only 1 hour and 40 minutes. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
