Chase Hutchinson TheWrap It takes a group that bumped up against the boundaries and instead just operates within them. In the end, it was the documentary itself that embodies the idea of devolution in all the wrong ways that can’t quite be whipped into shape. Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Kyle Smith Wall Street Journal Another engaging offering... The band’s delightfully odd costumes and visual aesthetic were so lighthearted and silly that they came across as the antidote to politically infused rock. Feb 2, 2024 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com “Devo” is a music doc that matches the tone and spirit of its subject, bursting with energy and creativity. Jan 26, 2024 Full Review Edward Douglas The Weekend Warrior (Substack) Devo is a fun doc, and I hope there’s some news soon about its distribution plans outside of festivals. Nov 27, 2024 Full Review Tom O'Brien Next Best Picture While “DEVO” provides an entertaining 90 minutes, it needed Smith to break out of the confines of the tropes of music docs and bring that same spirit of anarchy to his filmmaking as well. Rated: 5/10 Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A wonderful pic entertaining the notion of enlightenment through music.
