Noel Murray Los Angeles Times This alluring and sneakily emotional film is never confusing... May 15, 2023 Full Review Peter Debruge Variety The... director is more ambitious than she is successful this time around. Apr 1, 2023 Full Review Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle If The Five Devils more bravely embraced a single perspective, that might have better bound together its depiction of a family splitting apart. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 30, 2023 Full Review Ygraine Hackett-Cantabrana Moving Pictures Film Club depiction of a family whose members are trying to fit into expectations that are just not meant for them, seen through the eyes of a hypersensitive child attempting to process her family’s place in the world. Rated: 5/5 Jul 15, 2024 Full Review Tamma Moksha The Hindu While the film begins with a promising premise, the sentiments are muddied with overindulgence in the supernatural; the director immerses the audience in Vicky’s potions and dilutes a well-constructed plot. Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) Although the film’s many threads don’t always cohere, the stunning cinematography by Paul Guilhaume (who also co-wrote the script) at least gives the film a distinct visual flare.

Ghederick Eshmont A wonderful meditation on lost love & the anchors of motherhood. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/08/23 Full Review hangarbay 2 It's a fascinating unique take on a family drama, It starts a little slow but the conclusion makes it worth it. Creative and definitely worth the watch Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review StephenPaul C The greatest 01 hour: and 35 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/13/23 Full Review Andrena A It keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end, which I really appreciate. However, the end is really disappointing. There are a lot of ideas reading lighting and composition that are great! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/26/23 Full Review SUCKED With vibes of Atom Egoyan's dark secrecy, and Quentin Dupieux's fantastical randomness, The Five Devils tells an intriguing and heartbreakingly racy story of the societal pressures that lead to bad decisions, that in turn, lead to generational trauma. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
