"The Devil All The Time" es dirigida por Antonio Campos, un director de New York quien tomó cariño por la novela de DonaldRayPollock con el mismo nombre acerca de historias entrelazadas sobre los pecados de la fe, sus ilusiones y la bondad en el rencor. Con un elenco atractivo conformado por Tom Holland, Bill Skarsgard, Sebastian Stan, Riley Keough, Jason Clarke, Harry Melling, Eliza Scanlen y Robert Pattinson, la película sorprende por el tamaño de su propio vacío. El drama explora el lado drástico de una religión que funciona como un anhelo ignorado en el corazón de los personajes. Esa drasticidad hace que cada uno trate de confirmar su propia fe a través de acciones tan injustificables, que se vuelven absurdas. El tiempo dedicado a explicar cada una de las situaciones también es un problema. Para el tercer acto, el público está aburrido y harto de una serie de eventos grotescos que pertenecen a un contexto imposible de empatizar; y una vez que el público está confundido, aburrido, muy probablemente ansioso y fuera de la experiencia, se puede notar la trivialidad en los elementos técnicos. No hay simbología visual, decoro fotográfico, ni emoción en el lugar o el vestuario, solo una historia sin sentido actuada por un elenco que se esfuerza demasiado en creer en su propio valor. Firmemente, la actuación es lo peor de la película. No por el talento, sino por la evidente disonancia que hay entre el talento y el sentido de la historia. Skarsgard como padre y Pattinson gritando "Delisions" son asquerosos, Melling es totalmente estúpido, la relación entre Keough y Clarke es tonta y predecible, Scanlen y Holland son lo más invisible y monótono, y Stan, como autoridad corrompida, es un desperdicio de personaje que, por alguna razón ilógica, es una pieza clave de la narrativa. Los personajes son pésimos y aunque se respeta el talento del elenco, se les ordena actuar con una fuerza tan exagerada en una historia sin sentido alguno que da risa o confunde. Evítenla totalmente.

"The Devil All The Time" is directed by Antonio Campos, a director from New York who took charm on the Donald Ray Pollock novel with the same name about interlaced stories relating to the sins of faith, its illusions, and the goodness in resentment. With an attractive cast conformed by Tom Holland, Bill Skarsgard, Sebastian Stan, Riley Keough, Jason Clarke, Harry Melling, Eliza Scanlen, and Robert Pattinson, the movie surprises by the size of its emptiness. The drama explores the drastic side of a religion that functions as an ignored longing in the hearts of the characters. That drasticity makes each one of them try to uphold their faith through actions so unjustifiable that they become totally absurd. The time dedicated to explaining each one of the situations is also a problem. By the third act, the public is bored and jaded by a series of grotesque events that belong to a context impossible to empathize with. And when the public is confused, bored, very probably anxious, and taken out of the experience, the triviality in the technical aspects can be noted. There's no visual symbology, photography decorum, or emotion in the place or the costume design, just a senseless story acted by a cast striving too much to believe in their own value. Firmly, the acting was the worst thing in the movie. Not because of talent, but because of the clear disharmony between the talent and the sense of the story. Skarsgard as a father and Pattinson screaming "delusions" are disgusting, Melling is totally stupid, the relationship between Keough and Clarke is dumb and predictable, Scanlen and Holland are the most invisible and monotone, and Stan, as a corrupted authority, is a waste of a character that, for some illogical reason, is a key part of the narrative. The characters are lousy and, although the talent of the cast is respected, they are ordered to act with such exaggerated strength in a story without direction that is confusing or laughable. Totally avoid this.
