AV Club

Though Majors is able to show Brown’s inner turmoil, a spark with Powell never ignites. There’s an air of politeness that governs this relationship. In their attempt to present a wholesome friendship, the writers end up showing one that doesn’t connect.

Rated: C+

There are stretches of Devotion where it doesn’t seem like all that much is happening, but then you look closer and you realize that just about everything is happening.

I cried hard at the end of the movie. I loved the story and admired the man he became in the difficult time of American history. He was a hero.
