What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Devil All the Time's descent into darkness can be harrowing to the point of punishment, but it's offset by strong work from a stellar cast.

4/5
Fiendishly gripping... Go to Full Review

2.5/5
The Devil All the Time has the pretensions of a mythopoetic story that's chipping away at a community's dark underbelly. But here the misery is as belly-up and eager to be noticed as a house cat or a dead fish. Go to Full Review

There are instances of heart and significance scattered throughout the film, but it too often gives into its wandering nature and stops itself from ever making a lasting impression. Go to Full Review

The Devil All the Time is definitely not a delightful film to watch during a warm weekend. The narrative is dark, violent, and maintained a somber tone throughout its entirety. Go to Full Review

Antonio Campos’ saga of interconnected tragedy is a satisfying, exhausting reckoning of all-American ambition. Go to Full Review

please do not do a flashback of a scene that I already saw moments ago. A quick flash to remind us of what happened earlier is fine, but rewatching the entire scene feels repetitive and monotonous. It is not as if the scene was that good the first time Go to Full Review

Hannah C @Crawfordh 3d Absolute shit movie. Relies on the gore of killing innocent animals and women to "scare" you. Dumb as fuck. Not worth your time. Poorly written and executed. See more Death H 4d Under-appreciated by critics, who I think expected a more serious drama. The tone and narration is light and almost fable-esque, which gives everything a sense of unreality. But ultimately it works, because like a fable the point is to tell a moralizing tale. Here about the legacy of violence and trauma brought back from war and the desperation and poverty that keep people trapped in these cycles across generations. See more Jacob B @Jbruno Nov 17 Any self-proclaimed "Christian" with the audacity to label this film as anything but filth, should question their own salvation. For decades, Hollywood has been on a mission to portray christians as being crazy and anyone who confesses Jesus as their Savior, unhinged lunatics. Ain't it funny how they never do the same with Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism or Judaism? They never dare mock Muhammad. Only Jesus. Must be a coincidence! See more Russell H Nov 6 Great acting but I thought it was a little boring and too long. Not what I expected See more Roberta L Sep 22 I actually bypassed this movie several times , then one night I decided to watch it, I really liked it, good plot, unique characters, I would recommend it just for it’s entertainment value. See more Jun 17 Entertaining and well acted throughout, but the screenplay is just dissapointing. The purposeless narration kills any real tension for most of the movie, only saying what's happening or whats about to happen. Nothing is really left to interpretation because of the hand-fisted script and lack of inspired shot composition/visual storytelling. On a positive note, the dog on the cross was a phenomenal use of gross-out horror, (and was set up pretty well) that I appreciated the film not overly indulging in. See more Read all reviews
