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.

Fiendishly gripping...

Rated: 4/5

K. Austin Collins

Rolling Stone

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.

Rated: 2.5/5

Chicago Reader

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.

Rated: 2/4

Tom Holland smashes his adorable, pop culture obsessed superhero-next-door imagery to show off some heavyweight intensity.

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

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.

Stumbled onto this one while scrolling Netflix, and was taken in by the cast. Beautiful movie that's hard to watch at times, but totally engrossing throughout the multiple storylines, connected by the two small towns. Holland is brilliant, but the other characters ate up scenes as well. Highly recommended for those looking for a movie that challenges the norm. I sense that most of the negative comments are from Christians - who are definitely presented here in a negative (truthful?) light.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Awesome cast and great acting but no discernable plot. It felt like the main objective was to shock the viewer with horrible events over and over and over.

The Devil All the Time is a film with a slow and lazy script, there are times when you stop watching this film to watch any nonsense on the internet.

One of them hidden gems that you occasionally come across on streaming apps, this one follows the life of Arvin Russell as he traverses the murky waters that life throws at him

Jeffrey P

The cast makes it watchable, despite bad structure and coherence, as the plot develops. Very predictable once all the characters are introduced. The voice over narration was inexplicable as it is impossible for it to have known all the details as they were spoken, or who it was that was saying them.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
