The Details (film)

The Details is a 2011 American dark comedy film written and directed by Jacob Estes. The film stars Tobey Maguire, Elizabeth Banks, Laura Linney, Ray Liotta, and Kerry Washington.

The plot centers on Jeff Webber (Maguire), a married obstetrician whose seemingly perfect life begins to unravel after raccoons wreak havoc on his garden. The escalating battle with the raccoons sparks a series of unfortunate and increasingly absurd events, entangling him in extramarital affairs, blackmail, and murder.

The film explores themes of suburban discontent, the illusion of control, and the consequences of seemingly insignificant actions. It premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and received mixed reviews upon its theatrical release. Critics generally praised the performances of the cast but found the plot to be convoluted and tonally inconsistent.
