It's the little details that make a story beautiful and unique. The unnoticed, the unrecognized, the little things that make a movie great. I have a nasty habit of seeing a movie I love and immediately going to the negative reviews to see what people don't like about the movie, but in this case it helped me understand much better why I LOVED The Little Things. If you're going into this movie looking for another Seven, looking for a tried-and-true detective murder mystery story, then you are going into this movie for the wrong reasons and it will not satisfy you. But if you are like me and you yearn for character studies, you want thematic material to sink your teeth into, and you enjoy being challenged with certain questions left unanswered (dare I say it, other questions that don't truly matter?), then this is a must watch. Not only does this film work wonders with unreliable narrators, complex conflicts, and pumps it full with as much nostalgic 90s flair and Hitchcockian dialogue as possible, but it does all of this while still managing to pull off an emotional nuance and intensity that I have NEVER seen in another crime thriller before. This is something people should talk about for years to come, and I hope that long after the "true crime" fans forget about this film, it gets the recognition it truly deserves.
