'The Little Things': Film Review

The time-loop genre is old and diverse enough now — I've reviewed around a dozen, and I'm sure I've missed several — that there's no need to describe each new entrant as "like Groundhog Day."

“12 Dates of Christmas.” All that’s left for “The Map of Tiny Perfect Things” to mine is a narrative that places teens in the center of the universe and allows them to know more than anyone else in the room.

A sad, gorgeous film about love amid a pandemic, Chad Hartigan's Little Fish features not our real disease (it was in the can before COVID-19) but an invented one in which healthy people lose chunks of their identities —bit by bit or all at once. Think Alzheimer's, but a more aggressive and unpredictable affliction, and one that hits a shocking percentage of the world's population.

In writer-director John Lee Hancock’s The Little Things, which premiered on HBO Max last week, Oscar-winners Denzel Washington and Rami Malek play two detectives on the hunt for a serial killer in 1990 Los Angeles.

So much of writer-director John Lee Hancock’s psychological cop thriller, “The Little Things,” seems recognizable and pre-ordained on the surface. The drama offers the trope of a grizzled veteran cop (Denzel Washington) conflicting with a talented younger detective who’s made the grade (Rami Malek), the way they clash, break balls, their various obsessions, a haunted past, and a quirky, alleged serial killer (Jared Leto), not afraid to tease and taunt the police.
