The Devil All the Time

The Devil All the Time is a slow burn, thriller and melodrama with outstanding acting, exceptional editing, and precise cinematography. I love the focus on the theme of evil disguised as good. The film focuses on people who are thinking they are doing good under the guise of religion, God, and divine right instead of the harsh reality that they are terrible people committing terrible atrocities. Unfortunately, this is true to life. Obviously, this isn't saying all religious people are evil. It's more so that people are using religion as an excuse to commit crimes. The performances are all really good, and provide a look into the minds of sick, vile humans. The film is deeply disturbing because of how true to life it is and how it focuses on real life themes. It's extremely well crafted, and I love how it's presented, using voice over narration to dictate the flow of the film. The plot is a little convoluted, and the story could've been more thought out. Get ready for a slow descent into disturbing madness. This is one for the ages.

The story telling is non linear. There are flashbacks and forth which makes the movie more beautiful as it needed for the dark atmosphere. All characters living in different places are well connected together at some point in the story. Brilliant acting by all the characters especially Holland and Pattinson. Well written characters and dialogues so you will even connected with the few minutes appearing characters like the uncle and the neighbor guy. The movie is emotional but it will not drain you. The background music is very well done.

It is a two hour plus movie but you will be glued to the screen until the last scene and it will let you free in a nice way.

Every performance in the film is flawless in my opinion. the characters are all very well written and the story is too. if this movie does not get any Oscar nominations I will be pissed. easily one of the best movies of 2020, not that I have seen many.

If you want to loose trust in humanity, watch it. It has plenty of bad persons that like to do things I've never ever thought about. Religion is a thing that can drive you crazy. I love the grain and unsettling feeling I get from this movie. But I'm happy that I've great people around me after watching this.

A powerful movie! Great storyline, great acting!

Every key actor steals the show when its their time to shine. The acting is superb and deserves attention.

The plot is very deep, strong and emotional. This also may drive away unaware folks, since the movie might feel like it is dragging a bit. And it kinda does. You need to be up for a long ride if watching this and, if you like heavy dramas, this is one you will enjoy.

The score is good, but nothing over the top. I think it could be something else, but probably it is shadowed by the acting and the power this movie has.
