Entertainment Weekly
With a cast so large and so consistently good, it's nearly impossible to single out more than a few players, though it's maybe most gratifying to see Holland so far from Peter Parker mode; his performance is delicately underplayed, which is not a claim Pattinson can probably make with a straight face. - 75
Slashfilm
Sprawling and brutal, The Devil All the Time is not for the impatient or the squeamish. - 75
Chicago Tribune
Extremely well wrought. Not overwrought. Not underwrought. Just wrought. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
Though its structure doesn't always work to maximum effect, the grim picture gets more involving as it goes and benefits from a hell of a cast. - 60
Empire
A mixed bag of bones and bodies, whose Southern Gothic atmosphere and superb performances — from Holland especially — are let down by the film’s lack of narrative focus. - 60
Total Film
Robert Pattinson delivers another film-stealing supporting turn. - 50
The Playlist
Like so many characters in this glum, shaggy ramble of a film, Campos gets lost in the woods. Most directors in his position fall victim to overreaching, as ideas overlap and confuse and weaken one another. He makes no such error, instead spreading a humbler film’s sum total of content across an unwieldy canvas. - 42
IndieWire
There is no reason to care about anyone in Antonio Campos’ The Devil All the Time, a sweaty, bloated mess of a movie that flushes a knockout ensemble down the drain.
