The Devil All The Time – The Bleakest Movie of 2020 | Video Review

September 13, 2020 by EJ Moreno

The Devil All The Time, 2020.

Directed by Antonio Campos.
Starring Tom Holland, Eliza Scanlen, Sebastian Stan, Robert Pattinson, Riley Keough, Jason Clarke, Bill Skarsgård, Haley Bennett, Harry Melling, and Mia Wasikowska.

Brutal and bleak, The Devil All The Time is one of the toughest viewings of 2020. From director Antonio Campos, this is a film that is hard to recommend, no matter how great feels at times. Join our critic EJ Moreno as he discusses the latest outing from Netflix. While he does see what everyone loves about Robert Pattinson in this film, you can’t ignore the power of Tom Holland.

In Knockemstiff, Ohio and its neighboring backwoods, sinister characters — an unholy preacher (Robert Pattinson), twisted couple (Jason Clarke and Riley Keough), and crooked sheriff (Sebastian Stan) — converge around young Arvin Russell (Tom Holland) as he fights the evil forces that threaten him and his family. Spanning the time between World War II and the Vietnam war, director Antonio Campos’ THE DEVIL ALL THE TIME renders a seductive and horrific landscape that pits the just against the corrupted.

The Devil All the Time arrives on Netflix on September 16th.
