The Devil All The Time (2020) is as dark as the title sounds

Submitted by Blumpkin4Brady t3_z8aw0p in movies

I love the movie and I’m watching it for the second time and it really is evil and awfulness from start to finish. I really like dark movies and watch a lot of them, but this one made me want to pause at 1:23:18 to post about how dark and good it is. I think the realism and narration make it especially immersive. Along with the beautiful cinematography it really does kick a hole in your heart.

I know this is nerdy but the book is WAY darker.

I was just looking up the book and author and it’s insane that most of this is based on true events.

I’m a little dubious about what real events the book is based on.

It is pretty grim. I liked the film but I felt the Jason Clarke and Riley Keoughs storyline was pretty boring and I felt we couldve used less of them.

Overall, I don’t the film came together to be more than the sum of its parts.

The plotlines interweave and we get those nice moments of recognition, but it didn’t seem to amount to more than just happening.
