As the title suggests, it's all in the details, which writer-director Estes provides in large if not always convincing doses.

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.

"The Details" cancels itself out by being too campy to take seriously and too tragic to laugh at.

Rotten
"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.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
