- 83Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattEntertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattWith 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.
- 75SlashfilmChris EvangelistaSlashfilmChris EvangelistaSprawling and brutal, The Devil All the Time is not for the impatient or the squeamish.
- 75Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsChicago TribuneMichael PhillipsExtremely well wrought. Not overwrought. Not underwrought. Just wrought.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThough 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.
- 60EmpireDan JolinEmpireDan JolinA 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.

- 50The PlaylistCharles BramescoThe PlaylistCharles BramescoLike 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.
- 42IndieWireRyan LattanzioIndieWireRyan LattanzioThere 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.
- 42ConsequenceClint WorthingtonConsequenceClint WorthingtonIt’s a shame to see a movie this ambitious and well-cast turn out so wobbly, but The Devil All the Time inevitably sinks under the weight of its self-importance.
- 40VarietyOwen GleibermanVarietyOwen GleibermanThe Devil All the Time shows us a lot of bad behavior, but the movie isn’t really interested in what makes the sinners tick. And without that lurid curiosity, it’s just a series of Sunday School lessons: a noir that wants to scrub away the darkness.
