The Little Things (2021)

"Excruciatingly dull..."

"In case you've never seen a crime thriller about guilt and obsession before, here's another one."

"To enjoy the film on its own cookie-cutter terms depends on finding pleasure, guilty or otherwise, in tropes recycled with total straight-faced conviction."

"Pulpy and ridiculous and requires some major suspension of belief..."

"There are little things here that work but the big problems are impossible to ignore."

"A 1990s crime thriller that's been sitting on a shelf for 20 or so years. Honestly, it probably should have stayed there."

"It's hard to shake the feeling that it's added up to, well, nothing."

"A slow-burn mood piece more consumed with character and smolder, perhaps, than in the payoff of its central mystery."

"Nothing much happens."

"A throwback thriller which brings nothing new to a crowded genre, and has little to say along the way."

"Simultaneously pleasurable and a bit unsettling, in both the good and bad senses of that word."

"A relic."
