Vivia pensando como o mal que vive nas pessoas podem passar de geração para geração. Um pai que é preconceituoso pode acabar passando esse preconceito para o filho que vai passar para o neto e assim por diante. E é muito interessante verVivia pensando como o mal que vive nas pessoas podem passar de geração para geração. Um pai que é preconceituoso pode acabar passando esse preconceito para o filho que vai passar para o neto e assim por diante. E é muito interessante ver todo esse conceito em tela, mas usando a violência como a herança. Elemento que é usado no filme de forma literal quando um dos personagens ganha uma arma que era do pai. Mas o interessante é que aqui não observamos a violência como só uma herança de família, e sim da sua semente que aqui está representado com o final da segunda guerra mundial e todas as feridas deixadas nos sobreviventes. Uma semente que fez muitas pessoas se agarrarem muito mais na fé em Deus, acabaram se tornando fanáticas e usando dessa fé para promover mais violência e consequentemente também deixando seus filhos violentos. O que torna toda essa passagem de tempo e como as influências do passado na nova geração um dos pontos mais interessantes de assistir do longa. Claro, com toda essa temática, o filme tem cenas um tanto fortes, o que é mostrado pelo diretor com naturalidade, afinal de contas o mal rodeia aqueles personagens, logo ela se torna algo quase trivial dentro da lógica visual do filme. Ele nunca deixa o gore como ponto principal da cena, tornando um efeito de desconforto forte no público. O longa nos apresenta diversas histórias e todas são muito bem amarradas. Gosto de como ele usa a ironia de alguns encontros, algumas que só nós do público sabemos. Mas é inegável que o personagem do Sebastian Stan tem uma subtrama que não serve muito bem a história, o personagem dele podia ter menos cenas. Mas todo o elenco está ótimo, com um destaque pra Tom Holland que aposta em um papel mais sério e não deixa a desejar e Robert Pattinson que chega a dar nojo de tão bem que está. Durante o filme sentimos raiva, desconforto, nojo e temos umas sequências que nos deixam nervosos, principalmente as que envolvem o Tom Holland. O Longa tem seus momentos que poderiam ser encurtados, mas nada que afete demais a experiência. Um baita filme que me fez refletir sobre o que eu vou passar adiante e se isso vai ser benéfico ou não. Recomendo.… Expand

You canThis movie had me on the edge of my seat half the time, and glancing at my friend the other half at the violent portrayals of the characters' inner selves. Tom Holland is freaking ridiculous in his performance, as is Bill Skarsgård. You can see the rage and pain within them throughout their time on screen. There are some weaker characters, and some slower sections, but to see how they (and the sins they represent) intertwine over the film's otherwise lengthy duration, is well worth your time. As a bonus, the music is subtle yet haunting at parts, and in an interesting dichotomy, beautiful and hopeful during some of the darkest scenes. I was really gripped throughout the score.… Expand

The Devil All the Time - 8/10 (Maybe 7.5, can't honestly decide)

The Devil All the Time reminded me a lot of The Place Between the Pines but darker and more violent - and mixed a little with Lawless. It's a story that tells mirroring story arches of a father (Bill Skarsgard) and his son (Tom Holland); unlike The Place Between the Pines however, the emphasis is put on the son rather than the father which is to the film's detriment a little. Not a lot (see my rating) but I found myself enamored with Skarsgard's performance as well as his plot more than with Holland's acting and plot. Both are good, but I wish the father was more of the focus in the film. But that is only a minor complaint as I enjoyed both parts of the movie.

For the most part the acting is great; Skarsgard especially steals the show but Harry Melling is also surprisingly superb. I say "surprisingly" only because I have not seen him since his turn as Dudley in the Harry Potter franchise and was not aware how talented of an actor he is. Jason Clarke and Sebastian Stan also put in great work and although I am not particularly a fan of Holland or Pattinson's work they were not distracting in their performances. Although, you could argue they were distracting as it was plain they were cast in this film to try to broaden the audience of a film that would likely have been merely a cult classic (and honestly, most likely still will be regardless.)

This film is dark and twisted and certainly will not win any award for "Feel Good Movie of the Year" and is more of a character study. But in all honesty it is not much of a character study either as it remains fairly shallow in its study of the characters. So what is it then? It's a story of what happened between these interconnected characters at this point in time - the writers and director do not tell you what to make of it but instead challenge you to make of it what you will. A strategy that I am intrigued by personally, but rarely works among the masses. At least the general audience members in America.

That is why I deem this movie to be more of a cult classic than a hit with the general public or even critics; from its dark subject matter to slow-burn pacing and lastly its ambiguity it will not draw in a large crowd. But those who are drawn in just might become obsessed with this movie.… Expand

This film talks about delusions of humanity in necessity of identity and fulfillment, how people are so cruel to convince themselves that they are up to no good. People think they are attending God’s plan, but in reality they are just delusional, serving nor god or religion, just performing some fictional necessity inside them that instead of pleasing God, they are pleasing the devil all the time...… Expand

First and foremost, this movie IS NOT for the faint of heart. Its extremely violent, bleak and twisted and dark, they really pulled no punches with this movie. The Devil All The Time is a slow burning tale set in a rural post war backwoods town. I never read the book but the real draw here is obviously the extremely large cast of box office stars, all superb in their roles. I was especially impressed with Tom Holland here, who really brings it in a role I've never seen him partake in before.

All in all, this a dark and disturbing film that's only real downside in my opinion happens to be its jumbled narrative. People will obviously complain about the pacing and the array of terrible characters in this that makes it an uneasy film to sit through. But thats what makes it a real gem in my opinion. Its incredibly well acted and well shot and despite it being a rather long film, it manages to keep you glued to the screen with its darkness and intensity. Check it out when you can, its a win for Netflix… Expand

An issue I had with the film is the pacing. Certain plot points in the movieTo be completely honest, I didn’t expect to like this movie as much as I did. Obviously I had issues but it doesn’t take too much away from what the film did well. An issue I had with the film is the pacing. Certain plot points in the movie feel rushed as if it was a check in the box and not something the Director cared a lot about it. It was a lot worse in the first 45 minutes because everything happens so fast that it’s hard to care about some of these characters. Once Tom Holland shows up though, the film gets drastically better. Tom Holland does an excellent job here and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed his performance. This is easily his best performance to date. This is the same for Bill Skarsgård. I love him as Pennywise in IT but I found his performance here to be much more engaging. Robert Pattinson is excellent as always and he did a really good southern accent here. This is definitely a Top 5 performance from him but not my personal favorite. Everyone else here did a good job but it was harder to care about their characters than Holland, Skarsgård, and Pattinson. Some people might be put off by the narration but I didn’t mind it because it was narrated by the author of the book that this film is based on. It gave the film a book like feeling which worked for me. The directing by Antonio Campos is pretty great. He definitely has a great visual style and voice here and he is great at showing these themes of religious extremism and trauma. The cinematography and score also really added to the experience here too. Go check this out on Netflix if you want but beware of it’s very dark themes and violence.… Expand

You really feel all these events wearing down on what could be considered the two main characters (Arvin Russell and Sheriff Lee Bodecker) as we see most events through their points of view. Throughout the movie you are guessing how the two characters lives will converge in the climax and it’s done really well. By far my favorite part of the movie was seeming how characters in authority were able to influence the behavior and actions of others. You were never asking “how’d that happen?” Throughout the movie due to it having a good structure and never doing anything that went against the established behavioral expectations set for characters… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had no expectations since I rarely feel American movies are complex or tragic for any "reason" and it's rare that they leave me lasting emotions. Or any surprising events after 5-10min.
This is definitely a good movie, maybe great but while I really enjoyed the ride, I still can't understand how a movie so packed with events could feel so long. I definitely think it's worthwhile but it doesn't feel like one I would enjoy a second go with. The darkness is well portrayed, not very graphic but enough to get uncomfortable and the imagination fills in what's not shown, so that depending on how accustomed to real dark plots you are, it adapts smoothly. But it felt a bit afraid to actually let the viewer take in and reflect since it moves on sometimes way to quickly. While it's a more realistic and easy to understand and predict to cause many surprises, the acting and impressive way it ties together a red thread of almost thin air. It's not a mind blowing story but still worth a view. And that's the issue, I can't imagine enjoying or finding much new perspective, it's dark for sure but lacks depth. Though given that "Joker" was to violent dark or whatever it was for some audience not to long ago, I feel like the sadness of it all at points become over bearing but still not rly thought provoking. It's not as tragic as the packaging makes it, it's simple and while hard to forget. No questions remains once we reach the end. It doesn't deal with many Grey areas. It's a good story but more like a tale of evil then a tragedy that invites reflection. The characters are simple, unpure but it lacks that depth, it's sad but very straight forward. Evil - tragedy but most characters or their motives are explained to much to make me feel for them most of the time. Pattinson is great at being evil but it's so on the nose that it makes the characters around look clueless. Comparing it to say, Fate Zero or Code Geass it's not actually that tragic, it's not much character development so the acting might be great, but it's also straightforward in what role they have. While it might be to dark for some, I feel it's almost cartoonish in how evil is portrayed by Pattinson, looks good but but since you never really get to think about much, Skarsgård was the only one whose character didn't feel one dimensional. It ends decently but while it is full of just sadness brought by evil, it's not rly time, room or need to reflect, it's sad and evil However I can't tell what is missing from it, but when I think about my favorite tragedies, typically anime I feel like the time to fullt dwelve deeper… Expand
