Leave your thoughts about Devotion.
| RogerEbert.comRobert DanielsDevotion walks the tightropes between discord and harmony, hard lessons and heroic triumphs, and full-throated allyship and useless white guilt with aplomb. |
| Boston GlobeOdie HendersonThough it hits all the expected beats, it’s the attention to the little details that makes Devotion take flight. |
| ColliderMaggie LovittWhile Devotion may not look to reinvent the genre, it does carve out its own space in this year’s impressive slate of war films. It’s a solid, straight-laced story, that doesn’t shy away from the realities of war or the 1950s. Once it finds its wings in the final act, it soars to a place of real power. |
| San Francisco ChronicleZaki HasanDevotion earnestly tells that story in a stolid, straightforward manner, flying admirably high while knowing when to remain grounded. |
| EmpireKelechi EhenuloWith plenty of heart and soul, Devotion is an emotional spectacle, packed with soaring highs and gut-wrenching potency. It's another compelling performance for Jonathan Majors' increasingly impressive resume. |
| IGNRo MooreDevotion’s a respectful introduction to heroes the world should know and celebrate. Between J.D. Dillard’s thoughtful direction, the shocking clarity of Erik Messerschmidt’s cinematography, a rousing soundscape, and the tight editing, it’s a riveting drama ready to give even the best aerial war story a run for its money. |
| Christian Science MonitorStephen HumphriesThe one thing Devotion does bring home is the true meaning of courage. |
| The PlaylistJourdain SearlesThe film comes to life when Majors and Powell are in the air. Dillard and cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt make the sky feel vast and alive, threatening to swallow up Jesse and Tom at any moment. Along with the film’s thrilling flight scenes, Majors is the biggest draw of Devotion, showcasing his distinctly masculine vulnerability to portray a man as strong as he is silent. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshTonally, Devotion remains steady, never going for over-the-top emotion or sensation, simply seeking to express something authentically moving and human. It unmistakably achieves that, delivering a stirring story of friendship during war, and beyond, that is both rare and real. |
| TheWrapWilliam BibbianiIf you can get swept up in a big old-fashioned war picture, Devotion has some of the goods. It’s an incredibly handsome production, and the central performance by Jonathan Majors, as real-life aviator Jesse L. Brown, is layered and impressive. |
