Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle"The Details" is not just entertaining, but potentially useful.

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.

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.

Kyle Smith, New York Post
"The Details" cancels itself out by being too campy to take seriously and too tragic to laugh at.

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
"The Details" wears its quirky heart on its sleeve, signaling (and smirking at) its own silliness, at every opportunity, with an intrusively antic score that makes everything sound like a giant joke.

Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
It all adds up to create a dicey morality tale that's as improbable as it is strangely believable.

Stephen Holden, New York Times
Instead of turning soft and squishy, this examination of karma gets tougher as it goes along. Its refusal to settle into a cozy niche may be commercially disastrous, but I take it as a sign of integrity.
