"The Devil All the Time" is full of tribute to Cormac McCarthy's work, such as gods, villains, dying American southern towns, foolish but devout believers, tragic native families, masculine but impulsive big boys, and so on. , Are all familiar Cormac McCarthy formulas, but they are finally collaged together and awkwardly synthesized into a kind of nothingness. From the "World War II" to the "Vietnam War", the film attempts to criticize the barbarism and aggressiveness in American culture and reveals the deep-rooted sexism and religious fanaticism in the United States. However, the film still portrays the so-called American tough guys, that is, these people themselves. They all have the tendency to destroy and self-destruct. They are not good at expressing emotions and releasing emotions. Generation after generation, they solve problems with their fists. The shortcomings of the film are very obvious, such as its too blunt concept first. However, the actors in the film are still worthy of recognition. British actors such as Thomas Stanley Holland and Robert Pattinson have a vivid southern American accent in the film, which at least convinces the audience. They are indeed performing a story about the United States

I actually like this story... and I have not been dissuaded by the slow pace... Except for Yan... I like the setting of this circular American documentary story... As for the few scenes and more foreshadowing... I think it is to show the all in the title. the time... don't have to find some meaning...

Two hours of foreplay, two minutes of orgasm, or even an orgasm? ! The male No. 1 Dutch brother procrastinated for 40 minutes to appear. Is there a long and silent background introduction? I have stayed on each character for too long, and I wish each character’s history and old accounts had to be dug into the ground and said happily. What’s even more terrifying is that this is more than that. It's really unnecessarily expensive to drag down the rhythm of the whole movie. Also, Wufang is really, really good at switching accents, especially when compared to the familiar voice of the Dutch brother... It's a waste of such a good cast to produce such a bad work~

Narrator: Four hundred or so people lived in Knockemstiff in 1957, nearly all of them connected by blood by one godforsaken calamity or another, be it lust, or necessity, or just plain ignorance.

Rev. Preston Teagardin: I've heard of cases in my reading about sin where someone got so sick... over some sin they felt they had committed that was so terrible that they... started imagining things. Back, I read a story about... people. Poor people. Barely able to write... thinking they're... the president or... or a Hollywood celebrity like Ava Gardner.
Lenora: I... I don't understand what you're talking about.
Rev. Preston Teagardin: The thing is, that's the part of it. The book says... it's not, not understanding. See, think about it. How... could I be the daddy... when all we done is spend time with the Lord?
