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.

Devotion doesn’t have the impact it should have, even if Jonathan Majors and Glen Powell give powerhouse performances.

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.
