I love the final product we got and with the incredible cast performances, compelling story, and the dark tone that lingered throughout the long-yet-warranted screen time, this is a film that has stuck with me since I first saw it.

Tom Holland and an all-star cast shine in The Devil All The Time, a midwestern gothic crime drama whose well-crafted, meaningful ending makes up for a confused narrative structure.

The narrative’s focus on religion is bold and audacious, showing how blind faith can negatively influence people’s lives, taking them and others through the most painful paths.

The ensemble of actors is potent and committed. They're a buffet of pretend dialects and drawls, but each performance is as unwavering as it is neat.

Full Review | Original Score: 9/10 | Jul 20, 2023

It’s an old-fashioned romp, a kind of narrative which is hardly in vogue nowadays. The acting is world-class, however, and more than makes up for the glitches...

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 3, 2022

The Devil All the Time is an engrossing gothic tale full of backwoods preachers, thrill killers, religious zealots, and a handful of broken, weathered souls that cannot come to grips with the horrors of war that religion could not wash clean.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 2, 2022

“The Devil all the Time” is a cold and relentless tale of human depravity with hardly a glimmer of light. And the few instances of hope (and I do mean FEW) are usually planted just so they can be squashed.

One of the best casted movies I've seen. "The Devil All the Time" is all about its characters and their unwilling way of deepening themselves in an endless whole of tragedy. Full review in Spanish

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Apr 7, 2022

The Devil All the Time is one of the best-cast films in recent memory. But all the talent and craft behind the picture cannot overcome the story's overbearing unpleasantness, which is, frankly, exhausting.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 17, 2022

Overall, the film is well-acted, and there is a lot of drama, but if there is any takeaway from this film it would be, avoid the woods in the country at all cost.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 2, 2021

A grim, violent, and weighty film that captures the brutality and sorrow of small-town rural America.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5 / 5 | Jun 25, 2021

The Devil All the Time is all plot; it somehow manages to be both terribly busy and very boring.

Full Review | Jun 5, 2021

Two and a half hours of unrelenting sadness, anxiety and distress - but impossible to stop watching.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 29, 2021

Gripping and harrowing, but why?

Full Review | Mar 31, 2021

The actors' merit lies in achieving an impact in the limited amount of time that they have to intervene. [Full review in Spanish]

[T]he film truly feels like an amalgam of every Southern Gothic trope thrown together ... but there is no shortage of talent and the performances feel authentic.

Full Review | Mar 3, 2021

Despite all it has going for it, however, the Southern Gothic-flavored slice of noir never manages to hook the viewer.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 21, 2021

This film doubles down on the grimness in such a way that it takes itself too seriously.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 15, 2021

The performances are strong but if there's a more unrelentingly bleak film in 2020 I will do my best to avoid it.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Feb 10, 2021

No one would want to live in a world like the one portrayed in The Devil All The Time, and even watching it for a couple of hours is a hard sell. Movies about bad people can work, but they need much more depth than the filmmakers delivered here.
