Devotion (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Kelechi Ehenulo Empire Magazine With plenty of heart and soul, Devotion is an emotional spectacle, packed with soaring highs and gut-wrenching potency. Rated: 4/5 Jan 28, 2023 Full Review Devotion (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Murtada Elfadl AV Club Though Majors is able to show Brown’s inner turmoil, a spark with Powell never ignites. There’s an air of politeness that governs this relationship. In their attempt to present a wholesome friendship, the writers end up showing one that doesn’t connect. Rated: C+ Nov 26, 2022 Full Review Devotion (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture There are stretches of Devotion where it doesn’t seem like all that much is happening, but then you look closer and you realize that just about everything is happening. Nov 25, 2022 Full Review Devotion (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Maxance Vincent InSession Film Devotion doesn’t have the impact it should have, even if Jonathan Majors and Glen Powell give powerhouse performances. Rated: C+ Mar 6, 2024 Full Review Devotion (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu The aviation drama tells the thrilling and tragic story of Jesse Brown, the first African-American aviator to complete the basic flight training program of the U.S. Navy. Oct 4, 2023 Full Review Devotion (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Christopher Connor Movie Marker Magazine Devotion may not break the mould for war or aviation films. Still, it is a well-directed and entertaining film that is perhaps a tad too long but elevated by superb performances from Jonathan Majors and Glen Powell.
