Mick LaSalle

The Details has a light tone, but it's anything but light in purpose. It's committed and passionate, one of the most perceptive and morally persuasive movies of 2012. Read full review

Tobey Maguire's characteristic placidity makes a fine mask for a man who is thoroughly awful. Read full review

Gary Goldstein

It all adds up to create a dicey morality tale that's as improbable as it is strangely believable. Read full review

Mark Feeney

Manages to be both compelling and unsatisfying. But what limits it isn't lack of execution. The movie is many things, but a mess isn't one of them. Estes knows exactly what he wants. Whether it's worth wanting is another matter. Read full review

Described as an "existential horror film," The Details can't quite reach the same level of excellence as The Coen Brothers' recent "A Serious Man," another film about a man being punished (or rewarded) by fate based on his actions. Read full review

Scott Tobias

Oct 31, 2012

The lone standout is Linney's performance as the deranged neighbor, whose erratic combination of sexual desperation and extreme vulnerability keeps the film on life support. Read full review

The Details is as smug and self-satisfied as its privileged lead character. Read full review
