My Movie Review: The movie is full of layers you need to watch it very keen to appreciate its presence otherwise it will leave you to its gruesome parts that's not pleasant to watch and get stuck to its dark without seeing the light you need to process the violence and sorrow it shows!! At first I don't like this film with such a grim start I thought its going to be like that all the time so what I did is I watch it part by part so that I can brace on what to come absorb what can I take:) I have to understand its roots before making a judgement so I watch giving my full attention to it and all of sudden I started liking it as the story flows I started to keep afloat as wanting more!! The killing of the couple was shocking at first and then it became a routine I have to admit I enjoy those parts even if its brutal to think about you can't help to wonder how will they do it on the next victim until they got the taste of their own medicine in the final parts, unexpected thrill:)
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. When The Devil All the Time does plunge into the moral abyss, it's intoxicating -- if only it did it more often. A slow burn showcasing how the environment, education, and religion all churn together to produce a captivatingly in-depth story that haunts you long after the credits roll. An enthralling and often disturbing exposé of the dark side of a period of history we see far too often sanitized for easy consumption. A breathtakingly directed and powerfully performed Southern Gothic delight. An admittedly overlong yet consistently engrossing drama... This is one of the most ruthless, yet gripping Netflix Originals to date. 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. While I understand why this movie would be appealing to some, I found myself respecting the craft more than enjoying the experience. Such fiendishly' gripping:)
